Connecting the SMTCP-R via TELNET
Commands may be sent transparently to the SM-RS232 via a TELNET connection to the
SMTCP-R. To use this function, use a telnet client such as Hyperterminal or PuTTY to connect
to the IP address of the SMTCP-R.
You will be prompted for a username and password - this will be the same as the login
information via HTTP. Once logged in, the SMTCP-R is ready to accept the standard RS-232
commands. For a list of the available commands, please see the user manual for the matrix
you are using.
Although the commands are not echoed to the client display, the commands are being issued
to the matrix. Should you need commands to be echoed, please see the instructions for your
TELNET client.
Upgrading the SMTCP-R
To updgrade the SMTCP-R with the latest firmware, contact your sales representative to obtain
the firmware upgrade file or visit the SMTCP-R product page at www.smartavi.com. The version
information is listed on the Main Menu.
Once you have the file, use an FTP client, preferably TFTP, to navigate to the IP
address of the SMTCP-R. To upload the file to the SMTCP-R, navigate to the /var/
directory, and upload the file firmware.img - IMPORTANT: the file MUST BE NAMED
firmware.img for the upgrade to work properly. Again, the full path MUST BE
/var/firmware.img.
Once the file has been copied, restart (power off and power on) the SMTCP-R. Once restarted the
firmware update will be installed. To verify the upgrade, see the version information listed on the
Main Menu.
