13.4 Updating the original (10 Base-T) Xstream
Zephyr Xstream’s software is stored on a re‐programmable module. The Xstream can use FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) over any IP network to download new firmware from an FTP server into
the memory module. We advise you to contact Telos Customer Support (have your current
software version and Serial number when you call) to discuss whether the latest version would
better meet your needs. The Telos web site www.zephyr.com includes information on updating
your Xstream. This information includes version notes describing the changes between the
software version.
There are two basic scenario’s. If your firewall allows FTP through, then the Xstream can
download the new software directly from the Telos FTP site (ftp.telos‐systems.com).
If your firewall does not allow direct FTP download, you will need to download our free tlsFTP
server software and the Xstream software files. This download can be initiated at the Telos web
site. You will need to download this file archive to an IBM PC compatible machine on the local
network. The readme file included in the archive has detailed instructions on setting up the
Telos FTP server.
You will then use the IP address of your local FTP machine as the FTP site in the Zephyr
Xstream’s system menu and then initiate the update process. If you are unsure of the IP address
for the computer you are using for the update, go to a DOS window and type "ipconfig
