Upgrading the APBM Firmware
You may upgrade the APBM firmware by downloading the upgraded
software from the web to the E2000.
1. From the Cyclades website (www.cyclades.com), download and copy the
firmware to the E2000 via Secure Copy (SCP).
The firmware is composed of two files:
• APBM_v130.tgz
• APBM_v130.md5sum.tgz
2. Copy the two files to the E2000 /tmp directory as follows:
scp APBM_v110.tgz root@E2000_IP:/tmp
scp APBM_v110.md5sum.tgz
3. Login to the E2000 as root, and then change the directory to /tmp as
follows:
ssh root@APBM_IP
cd /tmp
4. Install the new software to compact flash as follows:
installimg all all.tgz
reboot
