9.2.2 - With bootp/tftp Protocols 

Select  the 

[Upgrade]-[Firmware]-[Update  from  Network]

  menu  from  the  AX3000  set-up.  The 

following box is displayed: 

 

Firmware can be updated in one of two ways: 

- 

tftp

 protocol: the operator must enter the location of the firmware file. 

- 

bootp

 

and

 

tftp

  protocol:  this  is  an  automatic  procedure.  The  necessary  parameters  will 

already be available from a bootp server. 

  Note: AxRM can act as a bootp/tftp server 

IMPORTANT

: the thin client will automatically reboot to perform this operation. 

9.3 - THE PING COMMAND 

The  ping  command  is  used  to  check  for  the  presence  of  a  live  TPC/IP  device.  Select  the

 

[Diagnostics]-[Ping] 

dialog from the AX3000 set-up, then select  the server  name from the list or 

enter the IP address or the DNS name of the server.  

9.4 - CONNECTION MANAGEMENT 

Connection failures are often caused by incorrect settings.
