2000NET Software Update From FTP Server
If you are updating a 2000NET module with a software version earlier than
version 3.2.0, you must use the following procedure. Software version 4.0.0
and later must be updated using NetConfig.
FTP Method Overview
The Modular Remote Monitoring and Control System is an extension of the
Grass Valley Signal Management System (SMS) routing system and uses
the same File Transfer Protocol (FTP) technique to download software.
Note This procedure assumes your Local FTP Server computer is a 32-bit
Windows host running Win95, 98, NT or later.
If you do not have an FTP server, Grass Valley provides a free FTP server
package that is easy to install and operate. This procedure assumes you will
use the Xitami FTPD provided. If you already have an FTPD available, you
can skip steps 3 through 5.
The software update process consists of the following steps:
1. Acquire the software update files and, if needed, the FTP Server
package.
2. Place the module software update files into an FTPD modular directory.
3. Extract the FTP Daemon (Xitami FTPD).
4. Run the Xitami installation program.
5. Modify the FTPD configuration files to the Xitami directory.
6. Start the FTPD.
7. Use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates.
Note When updating numerous Kameleon or 2000 modules, it is a good idea to
dedicate one frame for the update process to avoid interrupting communica-
tion with active modules.
8. Verify the software update results.
