Firmware and Configuration File
This chapter tells you how to upload a new firmware and/or configuration file for the IES-
1248-51.

47.1 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Overview

The IES-1248-51's built-in FTP server allows you to use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe
in Windows) to upgrade IES-1248-51 firmware or configuration files. The firmware or
configuration file upgrade is done during operation (run-time).
Note: Do not turn off the power to the IES-1248-51 during the file transfer process, as
it may permanently damage your IES-1248-51.
Note: The IES-1248-51 automatically restarts when the upgrade process is complete.

47.2 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (called config-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus such
as password, IP address, VLANs and so on. The configuration file arrives with a "rom"
filename extension.
The OS (Operating System) firmware (sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) has a "bin"
filename extension. With many FTP and clients, the filenames are similar to those shown next.
