• Upon successful command entry, the MS-DOS window will display “200 PORT command successful”
and “150 Opening data connection” messages.
• The top-most LED pair (1/2) on the 7700FC Frame Controller card edge will be RED during the
“image” upload process.
• After several minutes of “image” upload, the MS-DOS window will display “226 Transfer complete” and
“ftp:…(adding statistics about the ftp procedure)”
• The top-most LED pair (1/2) on the 7700FC Frame Controller card edge will be GREEN once the
“image” upload process is complete.
7. Upon completion of the upload, the MS-DOS window/program should be terminated by closing the
window. Remove the 7700FC from the frame, remove the 7700 upgrade cable and reposition the
UPGRADE jumper to RUN mode. The 7700FC has been upgraded with the latest image and can now
be reinserted into the frame to resume normal operation.
8. UPGRADING MODULE FIRMWARE THROUGH THE 7700FC FRAME
CONTROLLER
The 7700FC Frame Controller facilitates module firmware upgrades of VistaLINK
®
enabled products
through an FTP upgrade procedure. To enable module firmware upgrades:
1. Ensure that you have an upgradeable copy of the module’s firmware stored on the connected PC.
If you do not have the latest firmware, please visit www.evertz.com
for latest posted firmware.
2. Set the module (to be upgraded with firmware from #1) jumper to “upgrade” mode and insert it into
the frame.
3. Open a MS-DOS prompt. Typer “ftp<space>aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd” is
the IP address of the 7700FC (see section 6) residing in the frame with the module awaiting
firmware upgrade. For example, 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of the 7700FC and subsequently
the command at the prompt is “ftp<space>192.168.1.100”
4. Enter “customer” for both “User” and “Password” prompts.
5. At the “ftp>” prompt type “dir<Enter>” for a listing of modules within the specified frame.
Depending on the modules in the connected frame, information, similar to that shown below, will be
displayed on your screen.

that module resides. For example, in the above listing, the module in slot 14 can now be upgraded.
