Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack ATS
FTP
To use FTP to upgrade a Rack ATS over the network:
• The Rack ATS must be on the network with its system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway
configured.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the Rack ATS, see “Configure FTP server” on page 99.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes the bootmon file does not need upgrading. It is always
necessary to upgrade the other two firmware module files.
To transfer the files:
1. The firmware module files must be extracted, see “Use the Firmware Upgrade Utility” on this
page.
2. At a computer on the network, open a command prompt window. Go to the directory that contains
the firmware files, and list the files:
C:\>cd apc
C:\apc>dir
3. Open an FTP client session: C:\apc>ftp
4. Type open with the IP address of the Rack ATS, and press
ENTER. If the port setting for the
FTP Server has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP
command.
• For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a
space. For example (showing a space before 21000):
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
• Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
5. Log on as Super User (apc is the default user name and password).
6. Upgrade the AOS. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module).
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw05_aos_nnn.bin (where nnn is the firmware version number)
7. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.
8. After 20 seconds, repeat steps 3 through 7 using the application module file name in step 6.
SCP
To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the Rack ATS, follow these steps (this procedure
assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to upgrade the other two though):
1. Locate the firmware modules, see “Use the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux” on
page 122.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the Rack ATS. The following
example uses nnn to represent the version number of the AOS module:
scp apc_hw05_aos_nnn.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw05_aos_nnn.bin
3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the
application firmware module to the Rack ATS. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application
module).
