174 Mediatrix 1204
Download Procedure
The following describes how to download a software version into the Mediatrix 1204.
You have the choice to perform the software download by using the TFTP or HTTP protocol. You can also
configure the Mediatrix 1204 to automatically update its software version.
Extracting the Zip File
The zip file contains the software information required for the download.
Extract the contents of the zip file on the PC designated as the software file server. Be sure to use the defined
folder name. This creates a directory that contains the files required for the Mediatrix 1204 to properly update
its software.
The directory name must be the same as the name defined in the imageLocation or
imageSelectionFileLocation variable of the imageMIB . See “Setting up the Image Path” on page 174 for more
details.
Mediatrix suggests that a folder, named identically to the software build, be available and used for the files
related to that build only. Each folder should include only one delivery to ensure accuracy.
This directory must be located under the root path as defined in the TFTP/HTTP server or the software
download will not proceed.
Setting up the Image Path
When performing a software download, you must configure the path, on the remote image server, of the
directory where you extracted the files required for the download. This applies to both the manual or automatic
download procedure, using the HTTP or TFTP protocol.
The directory must be located under the root path, as defined in the TFTP or HTTP server, or the software
download will not proceed. See
“Before Downloading” on page 171 for more details.
The Mediatrix 1204 first downloads a file called “setup.inf”. This file contains the list of all the other files to
download, depending on the product. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory.
If any of the files is missing, the procedure will not work properly.
