Downloading Firmware
TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual 169
IMPORTANT: if a problem occurred during a previous download operation
(whatever method was used), the firmware of the target AX3000 may have
been erased. To restore valid firmware, the bootp+tftp protocol will
automatically be run when this target AX3000 is switched on.
11.3.1 - Remote Administration
The remote administration command depends on the operating system. Refer
to the Chapter 5.5 (Unix/Linux), the Chapter 6.4 (OS/400) or the Chapter 7.3
(OS/390).
Example for Unix/Linux:
# rsh ax3001 ax_download password
Note about password: specify the password if the set-up is password-
protected. (The same password is used)
The message 'Downloading in progress...' will be displayed on the
operator’s console if downloading can be performed (AX3000 and tftp host
reachable, firmware file found, etc).
Note: error messages can also be displayed (connection timed-out for
example). For explanations refer to UNIX manuals.
For more information about the download process, see Chapter 11.4
11.3.2 - Downloading Through Set-Up
Enter AX3000 Set-Up (<Ctrl><Alt><Esc>) and select the [Download] menu.
Set the Protocol parameter to bootp. When the [OK] button is selected, the
download operation begins.
For more information about the download process, see Chapter 11.4.
