    Critical Power Monitor Quick Start Guide: Perl Script – Mass Firmware Updates Please read this entire guide before you begin. This guide may be used to perform a firmware update on multiple units without having to go to the STARLINE CPM embedded webpage.
  • Page 114 Critical Power Monitor Selecting the Correct Perl script Package from the Starline Website Starline offers multiple pre-packaged folders with all the files necessary for performing firmware updates. The CPM has multiple versions of firmware which is why there are multiple pre-packaged folders. Below are the descriptions of what each folder should be used for.
  • Page 115 Critical Power Monitor Ubuntu v20 or Later (Linux) If Ubuntu v20 or later is being used, then the following files must be changed on the machine for the Perl Scripts to function correctly: 1. Edit openssl.conf file by sending the following command in command prompt: sudo nano /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf 2.
  • Page 116 Critical Power Monitor Creating a List of CPMs to Update 1. Open the upload_list.txt file that is in the Perl Script subfolder 2. Enter the IP Address, username, password, and host-key of every unit that is to be updated. The following format must be followed: <IP_Address>,<username>,<password>,<host-key>...
  • Page 117 Critical Power Monitor 3. PuTTY (plink) can be used to acquire the host-key of the unit. The host-key is associated with the Certificate that is uploaded to the unit. Most likely the host-key will be the same for every unit, so this only needs to be done one time.
  • Page 118 Critical Power Monitor 6. Another way to acquire the host-key is to open Command Prompt (after PuTTY has been installed) and type “plink <IP_ADDRESS>”. An example is shown below where “plink 192.168.2.123” was used (without the quotations). The host-key in this example is 57:1f:b0:11:41:b8:e3:8f:e6:81:1a:5f:2e:f0:03:6a: 7.
  • Page 119 Critical Power Monitor Uploading Firmware to the CPM 1. Open the command prompt shortcut from the CPM Perl Script folder. Command prompt can be opened without the shortcut, but you must be in the directory with all the files in it for the Perl Scripts to work. The shortcut puts you right into the directory with all the files.
  • Page 120 Critical Power Monitor Verifying Firmware Version of Each Unit 1. Once the firmware has been uploaded on all the units it is a good idea to make sure no errors occurred. 2. A Perl Script was created to get the firmware version of each unit. Open command prompt from the shortcut inside of the CPM Perl Scripts folder and enter the following command: perl mu_webgetfwv.pl upload_list.txt This command will get the firmware version of every unit listed in the upload_list.txt file.

  • Page 127 Critical Power Monitor Verifying Firmware Version of Each Unit 1. Firmware version 4.21 or 5.02 (or greater) must be installed on the CPM to use these perl scripts. The first thing to do before trying to send telnet commands via the perl scripts is to make sure that all of the units have the correct firmware version.
