How to Update the Map Files
The map file is used by the HP Download Manager to determine the supported
product, the software file name for the supported product, and the version
code for the product. Each record of the map file consists of four parts:
product number, filename, version, and comment fields. For the Downloader
to use the software files copied from the Web you will need to change the map
file for that particular device located in the \Program
Files\hptt\hpwnd\dld subdirectory.
Determine what device you want to update and get the file from the Support
area of the HP ProCurve site on the HP World Wide Web. Make sure you make
a note of the software version number for that device because you will need
it later. Version numbers are expressed as A.01.01, for example.
Uncompress the file and copy the results (which will either be a .bin, .swi, or
.fdd file) into the \Program Files\Hptt\hpwnd\dld directory.
Open either the hubs.map or switches.map file in a text-only editor like
Notepad. You will be replacing the filename and version number in the line
containing your device. (Note: DO NOT USE TABS between the columns. It
will cause an error when you try to use the Downloader.)
Save the file and follow the instructions for using the Downloader program.
You will need to edit the map file every time you pull down a newer versions
of the software from the WEB.
Example: The hubs.map file before editing the J2603A entry for a new software
version:
Product # filename version
HPJ2414A hpj2414a.dld A.01.05
HPJ2603A hpj2603a.dld A.03.04
HPJ2603B hpj2603a.dld A.03.04
New software version data:
Product Number
Example J2603A
Example: The hubs.map file after editing the J2603A entry to include the above
data:
Product # filename version
HPJ2414A hpj2414a.dld
