MBT-5000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System MN-MBT5000
Upgrading Firmware Revision 4
4–9
• Type "put FW-0000098X_MBT_#_#_#.bin bulk:" (where “X”’ denotes the revision letter,
and “#_#_#” is the firmware version number) at the Command-line prompt, without
quotes, to begin the file transfer.
The destination “bulk” must be all lower-case.
Wait for approximately one minute while the transfer takes place. Once the file
transfers, Command-line displays the upload result, similar to:
200 Port command okay
150 Opening data connection.
226 File received OK – XXXXXXX bytes in XX.XXX sec
ftp: XXXXXXX bytes sent in XX.XXSeconds XXX.XXXKbytes/sec.
In the event you receive the “Connection closed by remote host.” message,
wait another minute before continuing. The firmware upload sometimes
takes longer than the FTP client allows.
As the upgrade process continues, the converter front panel displays:
Programming APP Flash…
Please wait
Programming main FPGA…
Please wait
• Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
3) Use the converter front panel menus, the MBT-5000 HTTP Interface ‘Status | Status’ page,
or issue the Serial Remote Interface <0/SWR? or <0/FRW? query as shown previously to
verify that the PC-to-Unit FTP file transfer was successful.
