6: Updating Software
Reloading Software
The SCS stores software in Flash ROM to control the initialization process, operation,
and command processing. You can update the contents of Flash ROM by downloading a
new version of the operational software via EZWebCon, FTP, the web interface, TFTP, or
MOP. Regardless of which protocol you use to update Flash ROM, the following points
are important:
The Flash ROM software file name should not be changed.
The download file should be world-readable on the host.
The path name has a sixteen-character length limit.
The file name has a twelve-character limit for the filename.
Note:
If you experience problems reloading Flash ROM, refer to Troubleshooting
