Page 26: Performing A Firmware Upgrade
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7700PTX-10XL Network-Controlled Protocol Translator PERFORMING A FIRMWARE UPGRADE There are two ways to upgrade PTX firmware: Using FTP to perform the upgrade via TCP/IP. (recommended procedure) Using a terminal application such as HyperTerminal to perform the upgrade via a serial connection. - Page 27 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7700PTX-10XL Network-Controlled Protocol Translator 7. Start the firmware upload on the terminal application (for instance, in HyperTerminal select Transfer/Send File…), use Xmodem as the transfer protocol, and select the firmware file. For example, ptx.bin. 8. Once the upload is complete the message upload okay is displayed.
