Open a Command Line Session on the XLi

Note:
The XLi and FTP server need to be connected by a TCP/IP network. Ideally they should be on an
isolated subnet. Connecting them over a network with multiple 'hops' or one with heavy network
1
traffic raises the possibility that the system software files could be corrupted, yielding the XLi
inoperable.
Telnet to the XLi over the network. For example, at your workstations command line, type "telnet
192.168.46.10".
When prompted, log in to the unit using the operator's username and password; the user name and
password are usually "operator" and "janus".

Upgrade the Firmware

Command Format
When issuing the firmware upgrade commands, use the following format:
F100 <command> <ftp_server_ip_address> <relative_path>/<file.ext>
If the FTP server is on your workstation, <ftp_server_ip_address> is the IP address of your
workstation.
<relative_path> is a subdirectory inside the anonymous user's home directory on the FTP server. If
there is no subdirectory (i.e., if the upgrade files are sitting in anonymous user's home directory), drop
<relative_path> from the command line.
For example, if c:/ftpworkfiles is the anonymous user's home directory, and the upgrade files are in c:/
ftpworkfiles/xli/, you would enter the command as follows:
F100 bh 192.168.49.120 xli/192-8000.bt
On the other hand, if the files are in c:/ftpworkfiles, the anonymous user's home directory, you would
drop the <relative_path> and enter the command as follows:
F100 bh 192.168.49.120 /192-8000.bt
Issuing the Upgrade Commands
Adapt the following examples as needed to match your system, such as differences in IP address,
path, and filename).
Enter the following command:
F100 bh <IP_address> <relative_path>/<file.bt>
For example:
F100 bh 192.168.49.120 /192-8000.bt
