6.14.6 Firmware Update
Firmware updates are performed using an external TFTP server. The Firmware Configuration option on the
System Tab, as shown in Figure 6-18, provides an interface allowing the operator to perform IDU firmware
updates, as well as save and re-install system configuration settings. Note that following a firmware update,
the IDU will automatically apply the Power-on settings previously saved for the modem configuration, ODU
configuration, and Ethernet configuration, as well as retain terminal network settings and user passwords.
Note that a firmware update can include updated software (running on host processor) and/or an updated
modem bitstream (running on configurable FPGA).
For detailed firmware update instructions, see Chapter 7 "Firmware Update".
