Additional SNMP Parameters
The main menu allows configuration of additional parameters beyond those described in the table
above. The default values for these entries are appropriate for most installations. If you have made
specific changes to the SNMP functionality of your transmitter, you should change the corresponding
parameters using the PlusConnect telnet configuration tool.
Setting the Password
Changing your password is strongly recommended. The PlusConnect password is used to access the
telnet configuration menu. To change the password, use option #16: Set Password.
Uploading New Firmware
To upload new firmware to the PlusConnect, use option #18: Upload Firmware. When prompted to
start the firmware upload, enter “Y” for yes. The system will respond with the following message:
To load firmware run:
tftp [IP Address] put [firmware.hex]
Open a command prompt in Windows and type the specified command, replacing [IP Address] with the
IP address of your PlusConnect unit, and [firmware.hex] with the file name of the new firmware file.
Once the TFTP process is complete, your unit will reboot and run the new firmware. You can confirm
the upload was successful by opening a telnet session and observing the firmware version from the log
on prompt.
