The module update .exe files contain the new software for the 2000
module, either a binary file (.bin extension) or a field update file (.fld
extension). Binary files are for the 2000NET module updates and field
update files are for the Kameleon and applicable 2000 media modules.
a.
Open Windows Explorer on the local server.
b.
If one does not already exist, create a directory on the C drive:
c:\modular
c.
Create a subdirectory using the model name of the file being
updated, for example:
c:\modular\2000NET
d.
Double-click the module software .exe file (in the temporary
directory) and save it to the appropriate directory. The resulting file
will be a .bin or .fld.
3.
Extract the FTPD (Xitami FTP Server) files.
Note
This section is for facilities that do not already have an FTP Daemon (FTPD)
(also known as a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server) installed on the 2000
frame’s network. For those facilities that already have an FTPD or other FTP
service available in their network, go to step 6.
Thomson Grass Valley provides a free FTP server for those facilities
that do not have a local FTP service. The FTP server package is the same
Xitami Web Server FTP package that is provided with the Thomson
Thomson Grass Valley SMS router upgrade package. The version of the
Xitami Web FTP server distributed with module software upgrades is
for a 32-bit Windows host.
The FTP Daemon in the temporary directory is a self-extracting file
(ftpd.exe). To extract the files:
a.
Open Windows Explorer and find the ftpd.exe file.
b.
Double click on the .exe file and extract the files to the temporary
directory.
These files will be extracted:
•
xic3223c.exe – the Xitami installation file,
•
defaults.cfg – an FTPD configuration file that has been modified
specifically for Thomson Grass Valley software downloads,
•
ftpusers.sms – the FTPD admin file specifying user names and pass-
words for network access to files in the FTP server directories, and
•
Readftpd.txt – a Readme file.
