3.3.6.3.  Updating Firmware Using FTP   

 

This uploads binary data for upgrades in bin format to the “flash” directory (port) with a binary mode 

by logging in to the product using FTP.     

 

• 

The firmware cannot be updated using FTP when starting up in the flash memory load 

mode when the power is turned on, by setting the DIP switches.     

• 

The “flash" port is viewable by all users.     

• 

Firmware update is only possible by logging in with the root or maker user.     

• 

When uploading or after it is completed, this checks whether transmission was correct by 

calculating the sum value of the firmware data on the FTP side.    If transmission was not 

normal on the firmware, the update of the firmware is cancelled.     

• 

When the update is normally on FTP, the product will self-reboot.
