5.2.3 CLO-10 FTP Upload Procedure
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download.
The current base Optimizer M&C version can be viewed at the top-level menu of the front panel
display (press CLR button several times to view). Also, you can find the firmware information
within the Util ÆFirmware Æ Info ÆImage#1, Image#2 menu tree.
Using serial remote control, you can query the firmware revision levels with the following
commands:
<0/SWR? (Abbreviated), or:
<0/FRW?x (Detailed), where x = B (Boot), 1 (Image 1) or 2 (Image 2)
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on your PC.
Windows: Select File Æ New Æ Folder and rename the New Folder to "temp" or another
convenient and unused name. Assuming "temp" works, you should now have a "c:\temp" folder
created.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter can be used.
Alternative Method – CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\>) type "MD temp" or
“mkdir” without quotes (MD or “mkdir” stand for make directory). This is the same as creating a
new folder from Windows. You should now have a "c:\temp" subdirectory created, where c: is
the drive letter used in the example.
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
Access the download server with the flash firmware data files link,
http://206.223.8.10/linksite/flashupgrades/CLO-10/
About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: All CEFD products are shipped configured
with the current version firmware release. The most recent firmware versions are also available for
download. If applicable, one version prior to the current release is also available for download. Be sure
to properly identify and download the desired version of firmware.
The flashable files on the download server are organized by product prefix, firmware number (to
verify the correct firmware number, see Step 1 in this section), revision letter if applicable,
version, and release date.
The base firmware for the CLO-10 is FW13167*_*_* (where FW means firmware, and the
asterisks signify, in order, firmware revision, firmware version, and release date).
The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip (compressed).
Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case, download the *.zip file
instead.
