Upgrading the IDS-4215 BIOS and ROMMON

The BIOS/ROMMON upgrade utility (IDS-4215-bios-5.1.7-rom-1.4.bin) upgrades the BIOS of
IDS-4215 to version 5.1.7 and the ROMMON to version 1.4.
To upgrade the BIOS and ROMMON on IDS-4215, follow these steps:
Download the BIOS ROMMON upgrade utility (IDS-4215-bios-5.1.7-rom-1.4.bin) to the TFTP root
Step 1
directory of a TFTP server that is accessible from IDS-4215.

The path is relative to the UNIX TFTP server's default tftpboot directory. Images located in the
default tftpboot directory do not have any directory names or slashes in the file location.
IDS-4215 reboots several times during the reimaging process. Do not remove power from
IDS-4215 during the update process or the upgrade can become corrupted.
Make sure you can access the TFTP server location from the network connected to the Ethernet
port of IDS-4215.
