Downloading Firmware
162 TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual
This chapter explains how to upgrade TCP/IP AX3000 firmware over a network.
Firmware can be downloaded, for example to add or improve AX3000 features.
11.1 - OVERVIEW
11.1.1 - Downloading Protocols
Firmware can be downloaded in one of two ways:
- tftp protocol: the operator must enter the location of the firmware file.
- bootp and tftp protocol: this is an automatic procedure. The necessary
parameters will already be available from a bootp server.
Whichever method is used, the firmware file is downloaded from a host (called
the tftp host). Following this the AX3000 is automatically reset and the new
firmware is enabled.
These two methods can be run either:
- using the remote administration command from any network host or
- through the set-up of the AX3000 that is to be upgraded.
