3. Confirm availability of the firmware files in the temporary folder.
There are several ways you may view the contents of the temporary folder on a Windows-
based PC:
A. From the Windows Desktop:
• Double-left-click the “temp” folder saved to the Windows Desktop.
• Use Windows Explorer to locate, and then double-left-click the “temp” folder.
• Use the Browse window ([Start] > ...Run > [Browse]) to locate, and then double-
click the “c:\temp” folder.
B. Using Command-line:
• Type “cd c:\temp” at the Command-line prompt to change to the temporary
directory created earlier using Command-line.
• 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 CRS-500.
5.4 Preparing for the Automated Firmware Update Procedure
Use Command-line to send a “PING” command to confirm proper connection and
communication between the user PC and the CRS-500:
A. If the Management IP Address of the unit is still not known, use the CSU Front Panel
menus, Serial Remote Control or the Web Server Interface:
• CSU Front Panel Menu – Use the SELECT: Config  IP  Mgt-IP menu.
• Serial Remote Control – Type the “<0/IPA?” remote query (without quotes) at the Serial
Interface command prompt. The unit returns the configured Management IP Address:
>0000/IPA=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy
• Web Server Interface – View the Management IP/subnet entry in the Network Settings
section of t he Config | Remote Management page:
