Downloading Via TFTP

To download new firmware from a computer:

1

Use a TFTP client to send a binary file to the Device Server (CBX*.ROM to upgrade 
the Device Server’s internal operational code and CBXW*.COB to upgrade its 
internal Web interface).

Note:

TFTP requires the .ROM (binary) version of the Device Server’s 
internal operational code.

Figure C-3:  

7)73'LDORJ%R[

2

Type the full path in the Source File field.

3

Type one of the following codes in the Destination File field:

Codes must be upper case.

AQ - Standard Tunneling 

AM - Modbus

AD - DF1

WEB6 - Internal Web interface.

The destination file can also be ROM to match any firmware.

Remote Host is the IP address of the unit being upgraded.

4

Click the Put button to transfer the file to the Device Server.

5

The Device Server performs a power reset after the firmware reload process has 
completed.
