C-6 Reloading the Firmware

Configure your

/etc/bootptab

file to specify the

Ethernet address of the print server and the name of the
load file (

XJET.BIN

). Make sure that your file

protection allows general access to the directory that
contains the load file. The exact format of the file

/etc/bootptab

varies widely, so you will need to

refer to your UNIX system documentation for details. A
typical

/etc/bootptab

file entry might be:

xc2:ht=ethernet:ha=00401700c953:\

ip=192.189.207.3:bf=/usr/XJET.BIN:

Now log into the print server remote console using
TELNET or the serial port (see Appendix A if you do not
know how to do this), and execute the following
commands:

SET LOAD SOFTWARE

"pathname"

SET LOAD ENABLE

where unixhost-ip address is the IP address of the UNIX
load host and pathname is the full path name for the

XJET.BIN

file (e.g.,

/tftpboot/XJET.BIN

). Be

sure to put the path name in quotes and remember that
UNIX names are case-sensitive. Also, make sure that your
file protection allows general access to the boot directory.

When you type a CTRL-D to exit the remote console, the
file

XJET.BIN

will then be loaded into the print server.

The red TEST LED will blink during the load process and
will go out when the process is complete.

If the red LED does not go out after about two minutes,
check to make sure that you correctly entered all
parameters and that your network connections are good.
