Upgrade the Firmware

Command Format

When issuing the firmware upgrade commands, use the following format:

F100 <command> <ftp_server_ip_address> <relative_path>/<file.ext>

If the FTP server is on your workstation, <ftp_server_ip_address> is the IP address of your
workstation.

<relative_path>

is a subdirectory inside the anonymous user’s home directory on the FTP server. If

there is no subdirectory (i.e., if the upgrade files are sitting in anonymous user’s home directory), drop
<relative_path>

from the command line.

For example, if c:/ftpworkfiles is the anonymous user’s home directory, and the upgrade files are in c:/
ftpworkfiles/xli/, you would enter the command as follows:

F100 bh 192.168.49.120 xli/192-8000.bt

On the other hand, if the files are in c:/ftpworkfiles, the anonymous user’s home directory, you would
drop the <relative_path> and enter the command as follows:

F100 bh 192.168.49.120 /192-8000.bt

Issuing the Upgrade Commands

Adapt the following examples as needed to match your system, such as differences in IP address,
path, and filename).

Enter the following command:

F100 bh <IP_address> <relative_path>/<file.bt>

For example:

F100 bh 192.168.49.120 /192-8000.bt

XLi responds:

BURN HOST IS READY<CR><LF>

Then ‘burn’ the bootloader to the XLi’s flash memory by entering:

F100 bub
