52 Mediatrix 4104
Media5 suggests that a folder, named identically to the firmware build, be available and used for the files
related to that build only. Each folder should include only one delivery to ensure accuracy.
This directory must be located under the root path as defined in the TFTP/HTTP server or the firmware
download will not proceed.
Setting up the Firmware Download Path
When performing a firmware download, you must configure the path, on the remote firmware download server,
of the directory where you extracted the files required for the download. This applies to both the manual or
automatic download procedure, using the HTTP or TFTP protocol.
The directory must be located under the root path, as defined in the TFTP or HTTP server, or the firmware
download will not proceed. See
“Before Downloading” on page 49 for more details.
The Mediatrix 4104 first downloads a file called “setup.inf”. This file contains the list of all the other files to
download, depending on the product. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory.
If any of the files is missing, the procedure will not work properly.

To setup the firmware download path:
1. In the General section, select where to get the image location in the Firmware Location Provision
Source field.
You have the following choices:
2. If you set the Firmware Location Provision Source parameter to Static (see Step 1), configure the
firmware download path in the Firmware Location field.
This is the location of the “setup.inf” file that contains the list of the files to download into the
Mediatrix 4104. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory. In other
words, this is the path from the root TFTP/HTTP folder down to the files extracted from the zip file.
Note that the path must contain a maximum of 63 characters.
