16. Upgrading Firmware
When new, improved versions of the Outlet Managed PDU rmware become
available, the "Upgrade Firmware" function can be used to update the unit. Updates
can be uploaded via FTP or SFTP protocols.
Notes:
• The FTP/SFTP servers can only be started via the Text Interface.
• All other ports will remain active during the firmware upgrade
procedure.
• If the upgrade includes new parameters or features not included
in the previous firmware version, these new parameters will be
set to their default values.
• The upgrade procedure will require approximately 15 minutes.
1. Obtain the update le. Firmware modications can either be mailed to the
customer, or downloaded. Place the upgrade CDR in your disk drive or copy
the le to your hard drive.
2. Access Text Interface command mode via Serial Port, Telnet or SSH client
session, using a username/password and port that permit Administrator
level commands.
