Software Upload via FTP
This method uses FTP over the ethernet port and access to the Maintenance menu
either with either Telnet (over the ethernet port) or Kermit/HyperTeminal over the
serial port. Ensure that the network has been set up correctly (see "Setting the
INDeX IP Network Settings" on page 24).
This process allows for remote uploading of INDeX software whilst the INDeX is
running. Note however that the system must be restarted, which will stop all calls in
progress, to use the new software.
There are two methods available for uploading the software via FTP:
- preferred method is by using the
Administration
menu whilst the system is
running
- alternatively, if necessary, by using the Monitor Loader.
