Downloading
from a UNIX
Host
Computer
using Slave
Mode tftp
To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host using slave mode tftp, first copy the appropriate
firmware update file (for example, TROY.BIN) to that host. Make sure that tftp is started by checking the
appropriate files on your system (generally speaking, tftp must be enabled in your /etc/services file and possibly
in another configuration file, such as /etc/inetd.conf). Refer to your UNIX system documentation or man pages
for additional information.
Now log into the print server remote console using TELNET (refer to Appendix A for more information on using
commands), and execute the following commands:
SET LOAD IP unixhost-ipaddress
SET LOAD SOFTWARE "pathname"
SET LOAD ENABLE
The unixhost-ip address is the IP address of the UNIX load host and pathname is the full path name for the
firmware update file (e.g., /tftpboot/TROY.BIN). Some tftp implementations require that the update file
be located in the /tftpboot directory. Be sure to put the path name in quotes and remember that UNIX names
are case-sensitive. Also, make sure that your file protection allows general access to the boot directory.
When you type a CTRL-D to exit the remote console, the firmware update file will then be loaded into the print
server. The orange TEST LED will blink during the load process and will go out when the process is complete.
If the orange LED does not go out after about two minutes, check to make sure that you correctly entered all
parameters and that your network connections are good. Then power the print server off and then on again, enter
the SET LOAD ENABLE command, and exit the remote console to retry the download.
