Commands with EEC
13-4 Firmware Upload and Recovery
3. Enter the management password (1234 by default). For example,
Password: 1234
230 Logged in
4. Transfer the firmware file to the line card. For example,
ftp> put 201AS0b1.img image
where
201AS0b1.img
= The firmware file that you want to upload.
image
= The internal firmware name in the line card.
5. Quit FTP. For example,
ftp> quit
Wait for the update to finish. The line card will restart automatically.
Do not turn off the IES-2000/3000 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware
and make your unit unusable.
13.3 Emergency Console Port
The line card is equipped with a hidden RS-232 console port. It is intended for emergency recovery only, e.g., you
misconfigured the management VID, and not for day-to-day operation.
The console port is a 5-pin head with one pin broken off and located near the front panel to the left on the IES-
2000 and to the top on the IES-3000.
To access the console port, you must remove the card on top (IES-2000) or to the right (IES-3000) of the card in
trouble. Connect the small, soft robber covered terminal of the enclosed RS-232 cable to the console port. Make
sure that the side with small windows where metal is visible is facing the center of the line card and line up the
triangle on the RS-232 cable with the 1 on the console port (this identifies pin 1). Connect one end of a regular
RS-232 cable to the female DB9 connector of the enclosed short cable and the other end to your computer.
You need a computer with a com port and terminal emulation software configured to the following parameters to
match the console port:
VT100 terminal emulation
9600 bps
None parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
No flow control
13.4 BOOTP/TFTP Firmware Recovery of the Line card
The line cards use BOOTP/TFTP for firmware recovery through their built-in BOOTP/TFTP client when the line
cards are restarted. To recover the firmware, first download it from the ZyXEL web site and store it on your
computer. This process also erases any configurations that you have made and restores the line card’s default
configuration. You can use any BOOTP/TFTP server (for example, BootpTftp.exe) to update the line card’s
firmware. The update procedure for BootpTftp.exe is as follows:
