Update with FTP
For you to be able to use FTP to upgrade a single InRow RC over the network:
• The InRow RC must be connected to the network.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the InRow RC.
• The InRow RC must have its TCP/IP settings (System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
addresses) configured.
To use FTP to upgrade the unit:
1. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window on a computer that is connected to the network.
Go to the directory that contains the firmware upgrade files, and list the files. For the directory
c:\apc, the commands would be those shown in bold:
c:\>cd\apc
c:\apc>dir
Files listed for an InRow RC, for example, might be the following:
–
apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
–
apc_hw03_acrc_xxx.bin
where
xxx is the firmware number with the periods omitted.
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
3. Type open and the InRow RC’s IP address, and press ENTER. If the Port setting for FTP Server
in the Network menu of the Administration tab has changed from its default value of 21, you
must use the non-default value in the FTP command.
