Appendix B - Downloading Software
The latest versions of operating software for all Compatible Systems products are available at
our Web site. The latest version of CompatiView management software is also available.
To download software, follow the instructions below:
1.
Use your browser to access http://www.compatible.com/, and find the link on our
home page to "Software Downloads."
2.
Select the product and software version you want, and click on the appropriate file to
download it.
v Note: These files are also accessible directly via Anonymous FTP at
ftp.compatible.com/files/.
Depending on which I/O cards are installed in your IntraPort Carrier-8 VPN Access Server, it
may not have a LAN-accessible interface (i.e., Ethernet.) If this is the case, then new software
versions must be downloaded to the device either through a WAN interface or through the
RS-232 Console port.
If the WAN interface is not accessible for remote software image downloads, the download
must be performed through the Console.
This can be done from a workstation running terminal emulation software (TERM) that
supports Xmodem file transfers over a standard RS-232 serial asynchronous communications
port (COM).
To download software to the device through the Console, follow the instructions below:
1.
Make sure the software image file is accessible to the workstation.
2.
Connect the IntraPort Carrier-8's Console port to the workstation's COM port using
the Console cable which was included with your shipping package.
3.
Launch the workstation's TERM application using a COM port rate of 9600 baud.
4.
At the IntraPort Carrier-8 command line prompt enter:
(or the highest standard rate supported by the TERM application below
<Return>
115,200).
5.
The IntraPort Carrier-8 will prompt you to set the workstation's TERM application
baud rate to match the entered value. Set the TERM application to the corresponding
rate (115,200, ideally). Hit any key.
6.
If the rates were set correctly, you will see a readable confirmation string. At the
IntraPort Carrier-8 command line prompt enter the sys rxmodem command.
7.
Press the Enter key.
8.
Ensure that the TERM file transfer method is set for: Xmodem-1K, binary, and 16-bit
CRC mode.
9.
Initiate the transfer.
10. The TERM application will display the file transfer progress. When finished, the
IntraPort Carrier-8 will reboot automatically. For access to the IntraPort Carrier com-
mand line, remember to return the TERM application to: 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit and no Flow Control.
