RPS Series: Remote Power Switches - User's Guide

4. Set your communication program for ASCII Mode, then use the

program’s "Send File" function to transfer the upgrade file to the RPS.

Select ASCII format, then specify the filename and directory location

where the firmware upgrade file resides.

5. If the upload is successful, the RPS will load the upgrade firmware into

memory, and then reboot itself.

Note:

If you are performing the upgrade procedure via the

Network Port, the RPS will break the network connection when the

system is reinitialized. However, the RPS will retain the current

settings for the IP Address, the Telnet Port Number, Web Server

Port Number and Console Port Mode and Baud Rate.

6. Incomplete Upload: If the upload is interrupted, times-out, or if the

update file becomes corrupted during transfer, the RPS will display a

screen which asks for confirmation before proceeding. To proceed, type

1 and press [Enter], then return to Step 4 above to retry the upload, or

press [Esc] to reboot the RPS unit.

7. Recovery Mode: In the rare event that the RPS operating system

becomes corrupted during installation, front panel indicators will blink,

and the unit will automatically switch to Recovery Mode. If the unit

switches to Recovery Mode, first access the RPS command mode to

reset the Console Port to 9600 bps, Eight Data Bits, No Parity, One Stop

Bit, and then return to step 3 and repeat the upload procedure.

When firmware upgrades are available, the necessary files will be provided

via download or mailed CDROM. At that time, an updated Users Guide or

addendum will also be available.
