C.3 Uploading the Firmware Bundle to the Controller
1. Download the controller firmware bundle from the CommScope web site. From the
Andrew
→Products tab on www.commscope.com, click on Andrew→Products→Antennas→
Teletilt RET System
→Downloads→RET Contrller Software and Firmware Store the files in the
root directory for the FTP Server. Note that if the files are zipped, double-click on the zip files to
extract the files into the FTP Server root directory.
The file that may be uploaded to an ATC300-1000/2000 controller is:
• System Firmware Build (atc300_*.tar)
The file that may be uploaded to an ATC200-1000 controller is:
• System Firmware Build (RET-AN-RT_*.ascu)
An asterisk (*) shown in sample firmware filenames represents the firmware version number. Text
preceding the version number in the file name will always be consistent and is used to identify
the file type. See paragraph C.4 to verify the version numbers for the currently installed control-
ler firmware. It may be necessary to type the filenames in with exact upper and lower case
lettering, as some FTP servers are sensitive to capitalization for file recognition.
2. Ensure that the controller is connected and configured to the same Ethernet network that the
PC, running the FTP server, is on. If the PC running the FTP server is on a different network
from the one that was used to configure the controller in Section 4, the controller’s IP address-
ing will need to be temporarily re-configured for the FTP connection. Contact a network admin-
istrator for assistance, if needed.To test this connection, start your Internet browser on the PC
that is running the FTP Server. Type the controller’s Ethernet IP address (compatible with the
network running the FTP Server) into the URL window. If the connection is successful, the con-
troller’s main screen will be displayed in the browser.
3. From the controller’s main interface screen, go to Configuration→Software Config.
4. (ATC300 2.34 and later) Select Install System File, navigate to and select the file to upload to
the controller. (Figure C-3)
