SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > TRANSFER METHOD
The customer can update firmware when unit enhancements are released.
The two methods for upgrading are
XMODEM and TFTP. (See the DLP section of this manual for more
information.)
TFTP
requires a TFTP server running on the network. The unit starts a TFTP client function
which gets the upgrade code from the TFTP server. Selecting
XMODEM will load the upgrade code
through the
CRAFT port using any PC terminal emulator with XMODEM capability. The factory default is
TFTP
.
SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > TFTP SERVER ADDRESS
This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the IP address or domain name (if DNS is
configured) of the TFTP server. The factory default is no entry in the
TFTP S
ERVER
A
DDRESS
field.
SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > TFTP SERVER FILENAME
This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the case-sensitive file name which contains the
upgrade code. The factory default is no entry in the
TFTP S
ERVER
F
ILENAME
field.
SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > TRANSFER STATUS
This appears when TFTP is used. It displays the status of the transfer as it happens. Any error or success
message will be displayed here.
SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > START TRANSFER
This activator is used when the configurable items in this menu are complete. This will initiate the transfer
for either TFTP or XMODEM upgrades.
SYSTEM UTILITY > UPGRADE FIRMWARE > ABORT TRANSFER
Use this activator to cancel any TFTP transfer in progress.
SYSTEM UTILITY > CONFIG TRANSFER
Select the config transfer method and perform the transfer from this menu. Sends a binary file containing
the unit configuration to a PC connected to the
CRAFT port using XMODEM protocol or to a file on a
TFTP server using the TFTP protocol.

RANSFER
also lets you save the unit configuration as a backup file, so you can use the same
configuration with multiple units. In addition,
