Smart Technologies SMART Hub SE240 - Manual (Page 31)

25 | CHAPTER 2 – CONFIGURING YOUR HUB
Configuration Files
The central configuration file located in the SMART folder holds all of the information
required to synchronize the hubs.
Inside the SMART folder, create a text file and name it Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg for
the SMART Hub SE240, or Hub_VE220_firmware.cfg for the SMART Hub VE220.
Then place the file in the SMART directory located on the TFTP server.
The content in the text files must follow the same file format as the settings
configuration files. Each line must contain a "key=value" pair. Refer to the Configuring
SNTP Settings on page 26 for a list of keys and their corresponding values, as all
actions are based on these pairs. To find these pairs, follow these instructions:
• Ignore lines with nothing but white space.
• Ignore lines with # signs in front as they are comments.
Initializing Synchronization
Once you’ve configured your TFTP server settings, you must create a synchronization
event by initiating synchronization, or scheduling an update.
Firmware Updates
You have to configure your firmware updates. To do so, add
_TFTP_APP_NAME=<name of bin file> to the Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg or Hub
VE220_firmware.cfg file.
For example, to update new SE240 firmware to a newer version, put
Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg contents into the SMART folder. This is the TFTP server/
firmware location configuration file. It identifies what version of firmware the hub
should load when it connects to the TFTP server.
IMPORTANT
This file must be named Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg or
Hub_VE220_firmware.cfg.
The next time your hub checks the TFTP server for data, it sees that the TFTP
should be running the version identified by
Hub_SE240_app_v2.4.3.0_09-06-03.bin.
If it isn’t, it downloads the file from the SMART folder on the TFTP server and
reboots after the new firmware installs.
