CHAPTER 16: Upgrading Firmware

7. After the le transfer is complete, the Outlet Managed PDU will install the
upgrade le and then reboot itself and break all port connections. Note that it
will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the installation process. The
unit will remain accessible until it reboots.
a) Some FTP/SFTP applications may not automatically close when the le
transfer is complete. If this is the case, you may close your FTP/SFTP
client manually after it indicates that the le has been successfully
transferred.
b) When the upgrade process is complete, the Outlet Managed PDU will
send a message to all currently connected network sessions, indicating
that the Outlet Managed PDU is going down for a reboot.
Note:
Do not power down the Outlet Managed PDU while it is in the
process of installing the upgrade file. This can damage the unit’s
operating system.
8. If you have accessed the Outlet Managed PDU via the Network Port, in
order to start the FTP/SFTP servers, the Outlet Managed PDU will break the
network connection when the system is reinitialized.
• If you initially selected "Start FTP/SFTP Servers and Save Parameters",
you may then reestablish a connection with the Outlet Managed PDU using
your former IP address.
• If you initially selected "Start FTP/SFTP Servers and Default Parameters",
you must then login using the Outlet Managed PDU’s default IP address
(Default = 192.168.168.168) or access command mode via Serial Port 1 or
2 or via Modem.
When rmware upgrades are available, the necessary les will be provided via
download or mailed CDR. At that time, an updated Users Guide or addendum will
also be available.
