• Once the Management IP Address is known – use Command‐line to PING: Type “ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Command‐line prompt (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the unit
Management IP Address).
The response should confirm whether the unit is properly connected and
communicating.
2. Use Command‐line to transfer (FTP) the files from the user PC to the LBC‐4000:
• Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ denotes the unit Management IP
Address).
• Enter the Admin User Name (there will be no prompt for a password) to complete login.
• Type “bin” to set the binary transfer mode.
• Type "prompt" and then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
• Type "put FW‐0020503x_LBC4000_Ethernet_#_#_#.bin bulk:" (where ‘x’ denotes the
revision letter, and #_#_# denotes the FW version) at the Command‐line prompt,
without quotes, to begin the file transfer. The destination “bulk:” must be all lower‐
case.
Approximately one minute is required to transfer the file.
• Next, the PC should report that the file transfer has occurred. The VFD will first display
“Programming App Flash … Please wait”, and then “Programming main FPGA … Please
wait”.
In the event you receive the “Connection closed by remote host.” message,
wait another minute before continuing. The LBC‐4000 update sometimes
takes longer than the FTP client allows.
• Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command‐line window.
3. Use the LBC‐4000 Serial Interface, or review the Firmware Information section of the
LBC‐4000 Web Server Interface ‘Config | Utility’ page to verify that the PC‐to‐Unit FTP file
transfer was successful.
4. Use the LBC‐4000 Web Server Interface to select the firmware and reboot the unit:
A. Select the desired image (boot) Slot:
• Using the LBC‐4000 Front Panel – Select the desired image to boot from the
UTILITY Æ FIRMWAREÆ SELECT screen, and then press [ENT].
