To upgrade over the network you will need the following:
÷The file with the new DRM-6NX software. (the name
of this file is of the form
product_version.bin
, e.g.
cde_500.bin
for the software release 5.00 for the
Ethernet version of the DRM-6NX)
÷A computer on the network with TCP/IP and FTP
÷The DRM-6NX must also be installed on the network
with TCP/IP as described in “
Assigning an Internet
Address
” on page 14
Follow these steps to upgrade the DRM-6NX:
1.Log in to the DRM-6NX with the command:
ftp <host name>
where
<host name>
is the name or
Internet address of your DRM-6NX
2.Enter the user id and the password (use the user id
'root
, which has the default password pass)
3.Issue the command
bin
to change to a binary transfer
mode
4.Issue the command
put <software name> flash
where
<software name>

need to type

flashing requires 1 to 4 minutes. The unit automatically
restarts with the new DRM-6NX software active)

,

or
exit
depending on your FTP version
