When complete, close the command window.

Loading the Hub Configuration File On the UDM-0404

1.

Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

2.

Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the .ROM files are stored on the
PC:

e.g. cd\hub.

3.

Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below;:

TFTP –i [ip address of UDM-0404] PUT [filename.ROM].

For example, typing in TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 PUT FUDM129.ROM

will upload the file FUDM129.ROM to the UDM-0404 with IP address 192.168.0.96.

4.

Once the command has been typed in, push Enter to execute the command.

5.

Upload the file to any other ports requiring this upgrade by changing the last 3 digits of the
command to the relevant port number.

For example, type TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 PUT R26201610800.002 to upload the file to port 2 on
the UDM-0404 with IP address 192.168.0.96.

6.

The command window can be closed.

Copying Protocols Between UDM Receivers

Once protocols have been learned by the Hub through the Web browser, they will remain on the Hub.
Protocols are assigned to individual UDM Receivers (UDM-RX01) by using the Web interface pages.

The protocols can be transferred between UDM-0404s by using the TFTP file transfer utility.

All learned protocols are stored in the hub in a file starting with either an i or an s.

Retrieving IR Files From the UDM Ports

1.

Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

2.

Create a folder on the C: drive named RX.

3.

Browse the new RX folder with your TFTP client.

4.

At the command prompt, type the following command to retrieve an IR/Serial file from the
UDM Receiver connected to port 1:

C:\RX\ TFTP –i <ip address of hub> get iname.001 <enter>

Example:

C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.001

5.

To get a file off the RX connected to port 4 use this command:

C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.004

The file name you create must start with an “i” and end in an extension from .001 to .004.

6.

To put the file onto another Receiver on the same hub you must first copy the newly created file to
all extensions (.001 - .004), or at least the extension of the port to which the RX is connected.

C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.002

Restoring the hub configuration file can cause the UDM-0404 web pages to be
damaged. Follow the direction for loading the web pages to restore the damaged file.

Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another
operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
and install TFTP client if necessary. Consult with AMX Technical Support as to the
appropriate client for your OS.
