Firmware Update Revision 3

5.4.3 Steps to FTP Upload the Firmware Files
1) Typical for all steps: “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” represents the assigned unit
Management IP Address.
2) Type all commands without quotes, and press Enter to execute.
1. To proceed, you should already have noted the Management IP Address for
the UT-4500 as instructed in Section 5.2.3.1.
2. Use Windows Command-line to send a ping command. To ping the unit, type
“ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Windows Command-line prompt. The response
should confirm whether the unit is connected and communicating correctly
with the User PC.
3. Use Windows Command-line to transfer the files from the User PC to the
UT-4500 unit via FTP:
a. Type “ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” to open the FTP session.
b. Type “bin” to set the binary transfer mode.
c. Type “prompt”.
d. Type “hash”.
e. To begin the file transfer, type “put FW-0000202X.bin bulk:”
The destination “bulk:” must be all lower-case.
Press Enter. The unit reports the update progress (e.g., first
“Programming App Flash … Please wait.” and then “Programming main
FPGA … Please wait.”)
f. Wait for the file transfer to end.
g. Type “bye” to close the FTP session.
h. Close the Windows Command-line window.
4. To verify that the PC-to-unit FTP file transfer was successful, find the current
firmware information via the front panel or the HTTP or Serial Interface (see
Sections 5.2.3.1, 5.2.3.2, or 5.2.3.3).
5.4.4 Steps to Complete the Firmware Update Procedure
• Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
• Chapter 7. ETHERNET INTERFACE OPERATION
Use the UT-4500 front panel or the HTTP Interface to select the new firmware
image. You must then reboot the unit for the update to take effect.
