8. At the HyperTerminal screen, select file transfer and send the file. Choose the appropriate
binary file to download using the XMODEM protocol to BIN buffer 1 or 2, depending
upon which bin is empty.
9. Following completion of the download process, make the newly loaded bin active and
then erase the existing firmware from the now inactive bin. Perform the download process
again so that both buffers have the same firmware applied to them.
4.9.2 Pre-TFTP Binary Upload/Download Preparation
To perform binary (bin) uploads/downloads via the TFTP function, one of the following two
methods of connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) network must first be selected.
The first option requires that the system to which you will download be powered. The
connection must be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded file or in a remote
box routed through the local CPU that is set as a gateway using an IP protocol. You must be
able to ping the IMACS-200 and the local and remote CPU host IP addresses from the PC or
server that you intend to use as a TFTP server and vice versa. You may need to change the
routing table on your PC to include the IMACS-200 ethernet address as the gateway, or the
local host address as the gateway for the system receiving the file as the destination IP address.
Note: Your PC must have some sort of TFTP server software installed and running when you
are downloading the binary files to the system. If you are using TFTPD type software
it is easier if you set the root directory to indicate where the binary file is located at
the TFTPD root screen. This eliminates the need to enter a path at the file name screen
during the download process. If you are running a TFTP software package, consult
the user guide accompanying the software for details on configuring and using the
software.
4.9.3 Loading the Software Image Using the Ethernet Port
Follow the steps listed below to perform an software download and activate new firmware on
the CPU. It may be helpful to backup the device configuration before activating the
downloaded software. Activating software resets the CPU and initializes the IMACS-200.
1. Using a Telnet session over the Ethernet port, establish a connection to the desired IAD.
To setup the Ethernet port, see “Setting Up Remote Connectivity” on page 21.
