Perform the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
•
•
•
1. Use Command-line to send a "PING" command to confirm proper connection and
communication between the user PC and the MBT-5000A:
•
•
2. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the user PC to the MBT-5000A:

Upgrading Firmware
You have connected the MBT-5000A to a user-supplied, Windows-based
PC, and:
The User PC serial port is connected to the MBT-5000A 'J1 | COM 1'
o
port with a standard user serial cable.
The User PC Ethernet port is connected to the MBT-5000A 'J9 | 10/100
o
ETHERNET' port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet
cable connection.
The User PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of
o
the MBT-5000A Serial Interface) and a compatible Web browser (for
operation of the MBT-5000A HTTP Interface).
You have identified the MBT-5000A Ethernet Traffic IP Address and
firmware using either the MBT-5000A Serial Interface, or the MBT-5000A
HTTP Interface 'Admin | Access' and 'Status | Status' pages, respectively.
You have downloaded or otherwise received from CEFD the latest
firmware files, and they are available on the user PC in an accessible
temporary folder.
Type "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" at the Command-line prompt (where
'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' denotes the unit Ethernet Traffic IP Address).
The response should confirm whether the unit is properly connected and
communicating.
Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' denotes the unit Ethernet
Traffic IP Address).
If prompted for the admin username and password, press Enter for both.
Type "bin" to set the binary transfer mode.
Type "prompt" and "hash" to facilitate the file transfer.
Type "put FW-0000098X_MBT_#_#_#.bin bulk:" (where "X"' denotes the
revision letter, and "#_#_#" is the firmware version number) at the Command-
line prompt, without quotes, to begin the file transfer.
The destination "bulk" must be all lower-case.
Wait for approximately one minute while the transfer takes place. Once the file
transfers, Command-line displays the upload result, similar to:
200 Port command okay
150 Opening data connection.
226 File received OK – XXXXXXX bytes in XX.XXX sec
ftp: XXXXXXX bytes sent in XX.XXSeconds XXX.XXXKbytes/sec.
