Upgrade Steps
A TFTP/FTP server is used to upload the new software image file from your computer to
the AN-80i. TFTP/FTP server software must be installed and running on the computer
you are using to upload the new software file. In addition, the AN-80i software binary file
must
be located in the default upload directory for the TFTP/FTP server.
1. Enter the IP Address of the computer running the TFTP/FTP server.
2. Enter the full name of the binary file (including the .bin extension).
3. Click Upload File to begin the file transfer. The upgrade file size is approximately four
Megabytes and takes a minimum of four to eight minutes to transfer. Slower network
connections may take longer. Do not interrupt the transfer process.
4. When the transfer is complete, the AN-80i verifies the integrity of the new file. If
errors were introduced during the transfer process, the software file is rejected and a
warning message is registered in the event log, and you must repeat the upload.
5. When the transfer has completed successfully, use the System Configuration screen
to select which software version to load on the next system reboot (does not switch
automatically following upload).
