Using FTP in a standard command window, this procedure is an alternate way
of transferring the firmware file from your PC to Quadra.
1. Connect Quadra to the PC using the Ethernet port — either directly or
via a network. Remember that a crossover cable is required for direct
connections.
2. On your PC, open up the folder into which you downloaded the
firmware. The filename will be “
fwop_x.xx.tar ,” where x.xxx
represents the version number. Keep this folder open on your desktop
for reference.
3. To open a command window, click Start > Run . In the Run Dialog,
type “ CMD ” and press Enter .
4. In the command window, type “ FTP ” and press Enter . This action
opens an FTP terminal.
5. At the FTP prompt, type:
open <ipaddress>
... and press Enter .
Note that < ip address > represents the IP address of the Quadra
that you want to upgrade.
Once the connection is successful, a message appears in the command
window indicating that you are connected to Quadra’s IP address.
6. At the prompt, enter the user name “ rgb ” (lower case) and press
Enter . At the next prompt, type the password “ spectrum ” and press
Enter . The message “ 230 User rgb logged in ” appears, as
shown in the sample below:
