Click Upload Software
screen. This screen is used to upgrade the AN-80i with new software. The AN-80i
contains non-volatile storage for two versions of the software. The upload
overwrites the non-operational (unselected) version.
TFTP Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the computer with the software
upgrade file. This computer must be running a TFTP server.
Software File Name: Name of the software binary file (including file extension).
Upgrade Steps
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is used to upload the new software image
file from your computer to the AN-80i. A TFTP server software must be installed
and running on the computer you are using to upload the new software file. In
addition, the AN-80i software binary file must be located in the default upload
directory for the TFTP server.
1. Enter the IP Address of the computer running the TFTP server.
2. Enter the full name of the binary file (including the .bin extension).
3. Click the Upload File button to begin the file transfer. The upgrade file size is
approximately two Megabytes and takes a minimum of two to four minutes to
transfer. Slower network connections may take longer -- do not interrupt the
transfer process.
4. When the file transfer is complete, the AN-80i verifies the integrity of the new
software file. If errors were introduced during the transfer process, the software
file is rejected and a warning message is registered in the event log, and you
must repeat the upload.
5. When the transfer has completed successfully, use the System Configuration
screen to select which software version to load on the next system reboot (does
not switch automatically following upload).
