Xmodem File Transfer
a) The system will request a configuration (.cfg) file. Transfer the new configuration file

using Xmodem protocol.
For example, in HyperTerminal, select

Transfer

and then

Send File.... In the Send

File window, enter or select the appropriate configuration file in the Filename field,

and select

Xmodem

in the Protocol field.

b) Upon receipt of the configuration file, the system will request a package (.pkg) file.

Transfer the package file using Xmodem protocol.

TFTP Transfer

The HCS6300 must be connected to an IP network for a TFTP transfer. TFTP transfer also

requires that you set up a TFTP server on the same IP network as the HCS6300. Consult

the network administrator, as necessary, for further information.
a) Make sure the firmware update files are available on the same machine as the TFTP

server. Then, set up the TFTP server, and point to the directory in which the firmware

update files are located.
Note the name of the configuration file; you will need it to initiate the transfer.

b) At the

Enter TFTP server IP

prompt, type the IP address for the TFTP server

and press

Enter, or simply press Enter if the default IP address shown in square

brackets is correct.

c) At the

Enter the config file name

prompt, type the name of the configuration

file in the format “filename.cfg” and press

Enter. This will initiate the installation of both

the configuration and package files.

7. The system will display progress messages as well as the result of the update process

(which may take several minutes). When the firmware update is successfully completed,

initiate a reset of ALL the cards that received the firmware update (see “Perform an External

Card Reset” on page 33).

View MUX or Raw Bitrate Data

Bitrate data is useful for system monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. MUX bitrates

provide information on MUX data processing, i.e., the amount of data filtering in and out of

the MUX. Raw bitrates are measured at the input pins prior to data processing.
1. Access the HCS6300 Main Menu as described on page 31.
2. At the

[Main] Command >

prompt, either:

• Type

bits and press Enter to view MUX bitrate data for each HCS6300-controlled

transcoder. See example on following page.

• Type

rawbits and press Enter to view raw bitrate data for each installed transcoder card

(including any transcoders in Slots 3, 6, and/or 10). See example on following page.
