The Interface Manager (IM) can use FTP to update the firmware on every card

in the IM.

Upgrade Firmware Using FTP

To upgrade the firmware using FTP, do the following:
1. Connect the IM to the Ethernet network used by your computer.
2. Start your FTP program using the IM’s IP address:

ftp

Note

If you do not know the IP address of the IM (or need to change

the IP address), connect to the IM using the RS-232 (serial)

connection. Current information can be seen and changed from

the Network Configuration menu.

3. Use

[download] as the user name and the same password that you used

for Telnet and Web access.

4. Specify binary mode:

Binary

5. Specify the firmware’s path and filename with the [put] command:

put /firmware/chunker

The file will transfer and the entire IM will reboot. The IM will then be using the

new firmware.

Note

You may want to confirm the new firmware level by checking the

Main menu messages on the IM through the Telnet interface.
