Performing the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
• The LBC‐4000 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC, and:
o
The PC serial port is connected to the LBC‐4000 ‘J1 | COM1’ port.
o
The PC Ethernet port is connected to the LBC‐4000 ‘10/100 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
LBC‐4000 Serial or Telnet interfaces) and a compatible Web browser (for
operation of the LBC‐4000 Web Server Interface).
• 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 LBC‐4000:
• Obtain the Management IP Address of the unit using the LBC‐4000 Front Panel, Serial
Remote Control, or the Web Server Interface:
o
Using the LBC‐4000 Front Panel – obtain the Management IP Address from the
CONFIG Æ REMOTEÆ ETHERNET Æ ADDRESS Æ IP ADDRESS/RANGE screen.
o
Using Serial Remote Control – type the “<1/IPA?” remote query (without quotes) at
the command prompt. The unit returns the configured Management IP Address:
>0001/IPA=192.168.001.004.24 (default)
o
Using the LBC‐4000 Web Server Interface – View the entry for IP Address/Range in
the ‘Network Maintenance’ section of the ‘Config | Admin’ page:
