MCED-100 MetaCarrier Embedding Device Revision 1
Updating Firmware MN-MCED100
4–8
• Type “dir” to list the files extracted to the temporary directory from the
downloaded archive file.
The firmware files have been successfully downloaded and are now available for transfer to
the MCED‐100.
4.4 Performing the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
• The MCED‐100 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC, and:
o
The PC’s serial port is connected to the MCED‐100 ‘CONSOLE’ port.
o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the MCED‐100 ‘ETHERNET
MANAGEMENT’ 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port with a user‐supplied hub,
switch, or direct Ethernet cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
MCED‐100 Serial Command Line Interface) and a compatible Web
browser (for operation of the MCED‐100 Web Server Interface).
• The MCED‐100’s Management IP address has been recorded using the MCED‐
100 Serial Interface, and the firmware has been identified using either the
Serial Interface or the MCED‐100 Web Server Interface ‘ADMIN | FIRMWARE’
page.
• The latest firmware files have been downloaded or otherwise received from
Comtech EF Data and are available on the user PC in an accessible temporary
folder.
1. Use Command‐Line to send a “PING” command to confirm proper connection and
communication between the user PC and the MCED‐100:
• If the Management IP Address of the unit is still not known, type “info” at the Serial
Interface MCED‐100> command prompt and record the displayed information.
Alternately, use Serial Remote Control or the Web Server Interface:
o Serial Remote Control – Type the “<0/IPA?” remote query (without quotes) at the
Serial Interface MCED‐100> command prompt. The unit returns the configured
Management IP Address:
>0000/IPA=192.168.1.4/24 (default)
o Web Server Interface – View the ‘Configuration | Interface’ page:
