Acquisition Modules and Platinum Firmware
Platinum Firmware Upgrades
If the DNS server is not configured correctly (or at all), the output will look
like this:
eam2010 ~ # ping -c3 rsync.guralp.com
ping: bad address 'rsync.guralp.com'
eam2010 ~ #
If you are using DHCP, it is advisable to correct this problem by reconfiguring
the DHCP server to supply the correct name-server details. If you are using
static addressing, enter the address of a suitable DNS server in the
“Nameserver” field of the network interface configuration form (only available
in expert mode). See section 7.1.2 on page 72 for more details.
Note: If your internet connection is via a firewall, you must ensure
that port 873 (rsync) is open for TCP connections initiated by the
acquisition module. The following paragraphs explain how to
check this.
To check that your internet connection is correctly configured, enter the
command:
rsync rsync.guralp.com::
The output should look like this:
eam2010 ~ # rsync rsync.guralp.com::
platinum-crosslib
Libraries required for cross-compiling
on the Platinum platform
platinum-stable Stable filesystems for the Platinum platform
platinum-builder

eam2010 ~ #
Any other output indicates a problem with your firewall – consult your
network administrator or see the trouble-shooting advice in section 16.4 on
page 270.
Once the network has been checked, you can proceed to upgrade the unit by
following the instructions in section 5.4 on page 61.
5.3.2 Upgrading from a local mirror
Setting up a mirror involves three steps:
1.
Downloading the mirror content.
2.
Setting up a local rsync server.
3.
Configuring the client acquisition devices to use the new server.
Note: Due to Windows file-system restrictions, it is only possible to
build a mirror server on a PC or laptop running Linux.
