o If using Serial Remote Control, type the “<0/IPA?” remote query (without quotes)
at the command prompt. The unit returns the configured IP Address.
• Once the IP Address is known – use Command-line to PING: Type “ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Command-line prompt (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the unit IP
Address).
The response should confirm whether the unit is properly connected and
communicating.
2. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the user PC to the CPA:
• Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ denotes the unit IP Address).
• Type “bin” to set the binary transfer mode.
• Type "prompt" and then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
• Type "put FW-0000086x_ISSPA_#_#_#.bin bulk:" (where ‘#_#_#’ denotes the firmware
version number) at the Command-line prompt, without quotes, to begin the file
transfer. The destination “bulk:” must be all lower-case.
Wait while the file transfers. During this time, the CPA front panel will report:
Programming APP flash…
Please wait…
The process sequences through several blocks – this will take several minutes. When the
process is complete, the CPA front panel will display:
CPA-XXX-XXXX-X
Ver. X.X.X SNXXXXXXXXX
• Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
3. Recycle the CPA power and wait for the unit to reboot.
