8900NET Software Update From FTP Server
FTP Software Update Procedure
1. Acquire the software update files from Grass Valley (refer to Acquiring
Module Software Updates on page 66 ).
a. Create a temporary download directory on your PC:
c:\temp\
b. Using the web browser, select the desired .fld zipped file.
c. Click to download the .bin (8900NET only), .fld (8900 media
modules) or zipped file. You are queried to either
OPEN the file or
SAVE AS . Select the SAVE AS option and set the path to the temporary
directory on your computer.
This process will trigger the download of the file to your computer.
Note If you have access to an existing FTP Server’s directory, the module update
files can be downloaded directly into that directory.
2. Move or extract the module update files into an FTPD modular
directory.
The module software update files must reside in a directory that the
FTPD can access. The Grass Valley supplied FTPD is configured to
access a directory designated:
\modular\8900
The new software for the 8900NET module (version 3.2.0 and later) will
be a binary file (.bin extension) or a field update files (.fld extension).
a. Open Windows Explorer on the local server computer.
b. If one does not already exist, create a directory on the C drive:
c:\modular\8900
c. 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:
c:\modular\8900\8900net_sw400a_fw1.bin
Note The file name shown indicates: 8900NET, software version 4.00, firmware
version 1.0.
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 Gecko
8900 frame’s network. For those facilities that already have an FTPD or other
FTP Service available in their network, go to step 6.
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
