Software Installation Procedures
REQUIREMENTS
The following must be true of your 6511RC before loading new operational
software:
1. You must have a valid IP address assigned to the 6511RC
2. You must have an FTP client on a machine which can communicate with
the LAN
PROCEDURES
To load new software into the 6511RC, execute the following steps:
1. Boot the 6511RC
2. Open a DOS window on your Windows platform
3. After the 6511RC has fully booted, type the following command at the
DOS prompt: "ftp <the IP address of the 6511RC>"
4. At the Username prompt, type: "KillImage"
5. At the Password prompt, type: <your superuser password> (the default
is "superuser")
6. At the ftp prompt, type: "bin"
7. At the ftp prompt, type: "put flash.img" (if the flash.img file is
not in the current path, be sure to specify the path of the file)
8. When the transfer process has completed, the 6511RC will reboot.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE 6511RC UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD PROCESS HAS COM-
PLETED!
This has been done using the Windows command line FTP client. Other FTP
clients may work fine as well. Be sure to select a binary (or image)
transfer.
Other FTP clients may be annoyed that the 6511RC FTP server does not provide
a directory. Normally, this is permissible if you bypass the messages for
your FTP client.
