Note that if you have downloaded upgrade files from the DPS web site, you will have
to unZIP them before they can be uploaded to the unit. (The ZIP file format is a
compressed format commonly used for file distribution; utilities to uncompress ZIP
files are readily available on the web).
Type the complete filename (including the directory path) into the File to Upload
requester, or click the Browse button to browse your drives and select the desired file.
Click the Start Upload button to transfer the specified file to the DPS-475/575. You
will be notified upon completion of the upload.
NOTE: After uploading firmware files (.afg, .vf5, .vf6, or .frm files), the unit
must be reset (either with the Reset button, or by power cycling).
NOTE: When upgrading the firmware of the unit (.afg, .vf5, .vf6, or .frm files), if
the unit’s memory is almost full, it may be necessary to delete the existing firmware
files from the unit before uploading the new ones. This is a side effect of a safety
mechanism of the firmware upgrade process — old firmware is not deleted from the
unit until it is confirmed that the new firmware file has been received successfully in
its entirety. As a result, uploading firmware requires there to be sufficient free space
to store the new firmware files as well as the old ones; once the new firmware files
are validated, the old firmware files will be deleted.
To delete old firmware files prior to uploading new ones, use the Flash Memory
Mgmt option of the System Config menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”
for details) to delete individual files, or the Erase Firmware Power-Up Key (see
Chapter 3, “Front Panel Controls”) to delete all firmware files.
Other Machines on this Network
Clicking Other Machines on this Network from the main Web Server Control
interface will display a list of other DPS-475/575 units present on the same Ethernet
network as the unit you are currently controlling, with their Machine Name, IP
Address, and DCN Address.
Clicking on one of the machines in this list will switch you to controlling that
specified machine, just as if you had entered its IP address in the Address, Location,
or URL field of your web browser.
