HOT TIP!
If you don't know a valid DNS (domain name sever) IP address, you can still update your
Xstream by obtaining the IP address of the FTP computer as follows:
1. Go to the MS-DOS command line of the Windows machine (Run " cmd <enter>" for Win
2000 or Win NT; or Run "command <enter>" for Win 95 or 98.
2. From the command line type "ping ftp.zephyr.com <enter>"
3. You should receive a reply. If you do not get a reply check with your IT manager for
assistance - your firewall may not allow FTP access. The reply will include the current
IP address of the Telos FTP server.
4. Enter this IP address as "FTP site" in the Xstream.
Reboot
This option is used to restart the Xstream without cycling power. It can be handy. The Xstream
is designed for long‐term operation without user intervention. If you frequently experience
problems that seem to be solved by rebooting, be sure to contact Telos with all relevant details
