90 Revision 0.13
Note: If you purchased a Blue Heat/Net before April 2005, you
should update your firmware using Connect Tech's FTP site.
This option is available in the
Firmware
section in the Web
Configuration Manager.
Should you have any problems, try updating again and then
contact
Connect Tech Technical Support
.
Firmware Upgrades
If you need to re-install your current firmware, it is located in the firmware directory of the CD
you received with your Blue Heat/Net.
Newer firmware versions are available from Connect Tech’s website,
http://www.connecttech.com/asp/Support/DownloadZone.asp
. Choose Blue Heat/Net product.
Ensure the following parameters are set:
mip, sip, gip
and
dns_ip
using either the SCM or TCM.
To upgrade your Blue Heat/Net firmware, you can use any of the following three methods,
depending on your preference.
Upgrade using WCM (Web Configuration Manager)
The Web Configuration Manager is the easiest way to upgrade your firmware. Simply log onto
the WCM as described in the
WCM
section, and click on the Firmware link on the left menu.
This will bring you to the Firmware page. You will have the option to upgrade from the remote
CTI website, or to download the upgrade from a local FTP server.
If you choose to upgrade via a local FTP server, copy the firmware (*.tar) file to the anonymous
directory of a local FTP server. If you do not have a local FTP server, contact your system
administrator to set one up.
Upgrade using TCM (Telnet Configuration Manager)
Using the TCM application to upgrade your firmware requires you manually copy the firmware
from the CTI website to the anonymous FTP directory of you server. Then Telnet to the Blue
Heat/Net unit, log in as TCM and use the update command to complete the upgrade. The
upgrade command supports an option to upgrade from Connect Tech’s FTP directory.
Upgrade using SCM (Serial Configuration Manager)
The SCM method of upgrading is used when the Blue Heat/Net does not boot properly. You can
reinstall your original firmware from the supplied CD, or you can download any newer versions
that exist from the CTI website in the
Download Zone
or go directly to the FTP site as indicated
below.
You will need the use of a TFTP server. (Contact your system administrator to obtain access to
a TFTP server). Download the most recent firmware components from the FTP site
ftp.connecttech.com/pub/BHN/ .
These files include
BHNuClinux_X.XX.gz
,
BHNloader_VXXX.gz
and
BHNjffs2_X.XX.gz.
These files contain all of the Blue Heat/Net firmware. Follow the
update
command instructions
for the
SCM
to update each component.
