CHAPTER 15: IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD
15-2 EMM-E6 User's Guide
15.1 GETTING STARTED
Cabletron ships backup copies of image files for all of its intelligent
devices. The first file, suffixed with .hex (after it has been decompressed
from a .zip) is for Standard Local Downloading (any port, except the
BRIM). The second file, suffixed with .fls (after it has been decompressed
from a .zip) is for Remote Runtime Downloading through any network
port, including the BRIM.
Before you can download the image to a device, you must:
• load the image file onto your network rarp server
• decompress the image file.
For information on setting up a workstation as a rarp server,
refer to your specific workstation documentation. This
documentation includes limited information and guidelines
for setting up a UNIX workstation to act as a reverse address
resolution protocol (rarp) server.
NOTE
For your convenience, Cabletron includes the PKUNZIP
utility for easy decompression of the “zipped” file. If you are
using a UNIX workstation as a rarp server, and you do not
have a decompression utility that recognizes the PKZIP
format, you can obtain a copy of a UNIX decompression
utility or the image file from the Cabletron Systems FTP
server. Contact Cabletron Technical Support for details.
