DNSIP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
However, unless you have specific reasons for setting up your update server in the device, the
Broadcast
Server command will suffice for updating your VCX-2400 device.
The
Lock Update allows you to update all VCX-Devices of one type (i.e.- all VCX-2400E connected to
the network) simultaneously. We do not recommend this if you are just beginning to use the software, due
to the risk of overlooking a failure of one particular device.
Rather than this, it is suggested to update only one device at a time. This is done by following the first 6
steps of the instructions listed above and then Telnet into the unit you wish to update and issue the
following command:
UPDATEFIRMWARE
OR
UF
You should monitor the Activity screen for progress. The Telnet session will also provide some text
display that indicates completion. If the operation is successful then the device will automatically reboot
and the Telnet session will be dropped. If the operation failed then you should retry the
UPDATEFIRMWARE command.
TIPS: If using Telnet, use the DISPLAY IP command to verify that an update server IP is listed. Also
ensure that the update server IP is reachable. This would be true if the update server is the same as the
computer in the Telnet session.
The Perform Packet Tests tests to see if the firmware can be downloaded successfully without actually
being burnt into the unit.
The Write CTC File is for Coretecs internal use only.
The Help Menu
The Help menu selection will present the following dropdown menu.
At this time the only option is the About box selection. The about box will display the current version of
VcxNetConfigure. The current version in this example is V1.1 as shown.
