PERFORMING A FIRMWARE UPGRADE

There are two ways to upgrade PTX firmware:

FTP PROCEDURE

1. Open a command prompt window (in Windows: Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt)
2. Enter the location of the firmware file. For example, type cd c:\temp.
3. Enter the command ftp followed by the PTX IP address.
For example, type ftp –A 192.168.18.22.
4. Enter the FTP command put followed by the firmware file name. For example, put ptx.bin.
5. When the transfer is complete enter the FTP command: bye.
