Operation

To update the firmware using an FTP site and the SD Card:
1. Connect to the AXS Port using the FTP site.
2. Copy the update file from the OutBack website to the UPDATEFW directory on the microSD card.
NOTE: It may be necessary to create this directory on the SD card first, using the FTP client.
3. Once the update file is copied, disconnect the FTP client from the AXS Port.
4. The AXS Port will detect the disconnection of the FTP client and will automatically update the
firmware if the correctly named file is found in the UPDATEFW directory. After a successful
firmware update, the update file will be erased from the UPDATEFW directory.
Email Functions
The AXS Port can send email messages with alarms or other status reports. To enable the email
function in the AXS Port, certain fields in the OutBack block must be set up using Modbus client
software. (See Table 1 on page 3.)
