4.4 Performing the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
Connect the user PC to the UT-4500-A’s 10/100 Ethernet M&C via a hub or a switch, or
directly to the PC with a crossover cable.
2 Send a “ping” command to the unit to verify the connection and communication:
First, determine the IP address of the unit remotely or by using the UT-4500-A Front Panel:
• Via Remote Control – Use the <1/IPA? command
• Via Front Panel – Use the CONFIG
REMOTE
ETHERNET
ADDRESS
IP
Address/Range menu.
Then, using Command-line to PING: At the Command-line prompt, type “ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the Management IP address of the unit).
The results should confirm whether or not the unit is connected and communicating.
Initiate an FTP session with the unit (this example uses Command-line):
a) From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the IP address of
the UT-4500-A.
b) Enter the Admin User Name (there will be no prompt for a password) to complete
login.
c) Verify the FTP transfer is binary by typing "bin".
d) Type "prompt", then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
Transfer the files from the temporary folder on the PC:
Type "put FW-0000202x.bin bulk:” to begin the file transfers. The destination “bulk:” must
be all lower-case. Approximately one minute is required to transfer the file.
Verify the file transfer:
a) The PC should report that the file transfer has occurred, and the display on the unit
will start reporting “Programming App Flash … Please wait”.
After a few minutes, the unit will display “Programming main FPGA … Please wait”.
b) Terminate the FTP session by typing "bye" and close the Command-line window.
c) Confirm that the new file was loaded by using the procedure in Step 1.
