TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
11. Type the word “upgrade”, without quotes, and hit the <ENTER> key once.
12. The boot code will ask for confirmation. Type "y", without quotes.
13. You should now see a prompt asking you to upload the file.
4.2.2. Step 4 – Uploading the new firmware
14. Upload the “*.bin” file supplied using the X-Modem transfer protocol of your terminal program. If you
do not start the upload within 10 minutes the unit’s Boot code will time out. You can restart the
upgrade process by power cycling the unit.
15. The boot code will indicate whether the operation was successful upon completion of the upload.
For Example:
UPLOAD OKAY
MCF5407 COLD BOOT> |
16. The following is a list of possible reasons for a failed upload:
• If you get the message "transfer cancelled by remote" you must restart the terminal program and
load the bin file, then remove and install the module again.
• The supplied “*.bin” file is corrupt.
• Wrong file specified to be uploaded.
• Wrong file transfer protocol used – make sure you specify Xmodem, not Xmodem 1K.
• The PCs’ RS-232 communications port can’t handle a port speed of 57600.
• Noise induced into the Serial Upgrade cable.
4.2.3. Step 5 – Completing the Upgrade
17. Type the word “boot”, without quotes, and hit the <ENTER> key once or power cycle the unit. The unit
should now reboot.
18. You can now close the terminal program and disconnect the RS-232 serial cable from the PC.
4.3. UPLOADING ROUTER INPUT LABELS FROM A TEXT FILE
The Input Label File menu item allows labels for the video and audio inputs to be input from the serial port
of the router using a simple terminal program such as HyperTerminal. It is important to make sure that the
structure of the text file that contains the router labels is correct, or the router will not accept any of the
label definitions. The simplest way to create a file with the correct layout is to download the current labels
from the router using the Send File menu choice. You can then just edit the label names, and then upload
the new file back to the router using the Receive File menu choice.
Any serial protocol (remote panel or GVG) that is currently open on the remote port will be closed during
the Label updating procedure. The serial protocol will be reopened once the upload or download has
finished.
The following procedure describes the process used to upload labels to the router:
