Firmware upload via FTP
The
VideoJet 400
is designed in such a way that its functions
and parameters can be updated with firmware. In such cases,
transmit the updated firmware package via the network to the
device. On termination of the connection, the firmware will be auto-
matically installed. This allows a device to be remotely serviced and
updated without a technician having to modify the device installa-
tion on site.
The latest firmware can be obtained from your VCS Service centre.
You can carry out the software upload using the FTP protocol, e.g.
with the FTP command which forms part of the standard scope of
supply of Windows 95.
