Page: 46 / 51

Open a Dos Box or Command Prompt box and telnet to the RMS200 board, then type out

rootfsupgrade rootfs-XXX-xxxxxxxxxx

(where XXX is the firmware build number, and

xxxxxxxxxx is the checksum) and then press

Enter:

You should see similar output to what is

shown below.

When the firmware programming is complete, the

RMS-200

board will reboot with the new

firmware image. After 45 seconds you may reconnect to the

RMS-200

board and upload

your data base, add scripts etc.
