Series 2000/3000 IDU User's Manual
Revision P4
Use the File Management page to configure the IDU to access an FTP server.
Four parameters must be configured.
• Server Username. Enter the username used to log in to the FTP server.
• Server Password. Enter the password used to log in to the FTP server.
• Server IP Address. Enter the IP address of the FTP server.
• Server Path. Enter the path, if any, of the files located on the FTP server using for-
ward slashes ("/"). This is the path that any FTP client with the username set above
would see.
When you are done, click Save FTP Configuration. The FTP configuration is active
immediately.
Use the File Management page to upgrade IDU software.
The IDU contains two versions (or images) of the software, a current image and an alter-
nate image. These software versions are shown in the S/W IMAGE ID section of the page.
When you download a new software version, the new software becomes the current image
only after a Reboot from Alternate, and the previous current image becomes the alterna-
tive image.
Follow this procedure to upgrade IDU software.
1. Ensure that the software upgrade file (e.g. "EMSv3008r00.sit") is located on the FTP
server.
2.)Ensure that the IDU has been configured to access the FTP server with the correct
path (see section 2.6.1
3.)In the S/W Image Filename field, enter the name of the software upgrade file (e.g.
"EMSv3008r00.sit"). Next, click Save S/W Image Filename.
4.)Click the Download S/W Image button to begin downloading software from the FTP
server to the IDU. The IDU will verify that the file is an IDU software file before it
begins downloading. The software file is about 1.7 MB. You can monitor the progress
of the download. During this time, you cannot download any other files.
5.)Once the download is complete, click Reboot from Alternate. The IDU will reboot
using the new software version.
6.)After the Reboot, the IDU will become available with the newly downloaded
software. Return to the File Management page and click Validate S/W Image. This
indicates to the IDU that the upgraded software was installed and runs correctly. As a
fail-safe mechanism, if you do not validate the new software version within 10
minutes of rebooting, the IDU will automatically reboot with the previous (alternate)
software version.
