Updating Firmware Across the Network
1. From Manager/One at the network level, go to Configure>System and use
the Firmware Updates command to set up your FTP parameters (so the
system knows where to locate the BIN files).
Figure 19. Firmware Updates Command (Network Level)
The parameters you establish here will be propagated to all modules within
your Access/One Network. You must define the following:
• FTP Server (IP address or name): For example, ftp.myserver.com.
• User Name: Ask your network administrator.
• Password: Ask your network administrator.
• Path: Enter a path if you placed the BIN files in a specific directory.
2. At the network level, Manager/One offers you the opportunity of setting up
how “aggressive” you want your FTP updates to be. This criteria includes:
• Number of Simultaneous Update Sessions: The default is 10 but you can
increase or decrease this number, as needed. The lower this number, the
faster any simultaneous FTP update sessions will be executed.
• Update Session Start Interval: This number defines the elapsed time (in
seconds) between the start of firmware update sessions. The default is 1
second.
• Update Session Timeout: This number defines the elapsed idle time (in
seconds) before the current FTP update session is aborted. The default is
600 seconds.
