Fig. 23. Firmware upgrade by TFTP

To upgrade firmware of the HD24613 by TFTP:

1.

Get a computer that will be used as a TFTP server and as a managing computer to trigger the
upgrade process.

2.

Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch port with a normal Ethernet cable.

3.

Configure IP address of the computer so that the HD24613 and the computer are in the same IP
subnet.

4.

On the computer, run the TFTP Server utility. And specify the folder in which the firmware files
reside.

5.

On the computer, run a Web browser and click the

General, Firmware

Tools

hyperlink.

6.

Choose

TFTP

as the

Firmware management protocol

.

7.

Specify the IP address of the computer, which acts as a TFTP server. If you don’t know the IP
address of the computer, open a Command Prompt, and type IpConfig, then press the

Enter

key.

8.

Trigger the firmware upgrade process by clicking

Upgrade

.
