Steps to FTP Upload the Firmware Files

1) Typical for all steps: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" represents the assigned unit
Management IP Address.
2) Type all commands without quotes, and press Enter to execute.
1. To proceed, you should already have noted the Management IP Address for
the LPOD as instructed in Section 3.2.3.
2. Use Windows Command-line to send a ping command. To ping the unit, type
"ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" at the Windows Command-line prompt. The response
should confirm whether the unit is connected and communicating correctly
with the User PC.
3. Use Windows Command-line to transfer the files from the User PC to the
LPOD unit via FTP:
a. Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" to open the FTP session.
b. Type "bin" to set the binary transfer mode.
c. Type "prompt".
d. Type "hash".
e. To begin the file transfer, type
"put FW-0000078X_LPOD_Bulk_V###.bin a:\bulk.bin:"
The destination "a:\bulk.bin:" must be all lower-case.
Wait for the file transfer to end.
f. Type "bye" to close the FTP session.
g. Close the Command-line window.
4. To verify that the PC-to-unit FTP file transfer was successful, find the current
firmware information via the HTTP or Serial interface (see Sections 3.3.1.1 or
3.3.1.2).
