Firmware and Configuration File
Maintenance Commands
This chapter tells you how to upload a new firmware and/or configuration file for the IES-612-
51A.
50.1 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Overview
The IES-612-51A’s built-in FTP server allows you to use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe
in Windows) to upgrade IES-612-51A firmware or configuration files. The firmware or
configuration file upgrade is done during operation (run-time).
1 Do not turn off the power to the IES-612-51A during the file transfer process,
as it may permanently damage your IES-612-51A.
" The IES-612-51A automatically restarts when the upgrade process is
complete.
50.2 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (called config-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus such
as password, IP address, VLANs and so on. The configuration file arrives with a “rom”
filename extension.
The OS (Operating System) firmware (sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) has a “bin”
filename extension. With many FTP and clients, the filenames are similar to those shown next.
