3: Change Password
The maximum length is 8 characters, numbers and letters only. (If you are prompted for a user name as
well as a password, you may use any name or leave it blank.
4: Set Host Name
The maximum length is 16 characters, numbers and letters only. Once set, you will be able to access your
NXT-700 at the URL
<http://[Host Name]/>
.
5: Download New Firmware
Select “5” to upgrade the OS (
*.AFW
) or bootstrap loader (
*.ABT
) file.
The Boot Menu display will first indicate some network initialization, and then the NXT-700 will prompt
you to use a tftp (trivial ftp) client to upload your upgrade file to the NXT-700 at a specific IP address.
At this point, the blue LED will be OFF, and all the Serial LEDs for both ports will be on. You will now
need to upload the OS or boot file using a tfpt client. To use the default Windows tftp client, open a
Command Prompt (or DOS shell) window and execute:
tftp -i [IP Address] put [/File Path/Upgrade File]
Example:
tftp –i 10.10.10.10 put c:\temp\waciplus20.afw
You may only upgrade one file at a time, and you may not do anything else with the NXT-700 in this
mode.
During the file transfer, the serial LEDs will blink one at a time, and you will see the status on the boot
menu screen.
The NXT-700 will reset on completion. Continue to use NXT-700 as normal, or press & hold the reset
button 5 seconds to re-enter boot menu.
Note: The TFTP client is available on Linux, Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Windows 9x, Windows ME,
and the Macintosh O/S’s don’t come with a TFTP client. You’ll need to acquire a third-party client to
upgrade your NXT-700 using these operating systems. Contact Aurora Multimedia for a list of clients that
will work with your O/S.
6: Lamp Test
Turns all LEDs on, so you can verify that they are working correctly.
