Use XMODEM to upgrade one InRow RD

To upgrade the firmware for one InRow RD that is not on the network, you must extract the firmware

files from the firmware upgrade tool (see “To extract the firmware files:” on page 60).

To transfer the files:

1. Obtain the individual firmware modules (the AOS module and the application module) from

www.apc.com/tools/download.

2. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.

3. Connect the provided configuration cable to the selected port and to the serial port at the InRow

RD.

4. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 2400 bps, 8

data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

5. Press

ENTER to display the User Name prompt.

6. Enter the Administrator user name and password (apc by default for both).

7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer, then

XMODEM; and type

Yes at the prompt to continue.

8. Select a baud rate, change the terminal program’s baud rate to match your selection, and press

ENTER. A higher baud rate causes faster upgrades.

9. From the terminal program’s menu, select the binary AOS file to transfer using XMODEM-CRC.

After the XMODEM transfer is complete, set the baud rate to 2400. The InRow RD

automatically restarts.

10.Repeat step 4 through step 9 to install the application module. In step 9, use the application

module file name, not the AOS module file name.

11. For information about the format used for firmware modules, see “Firmware files (InRow RD)”

on page 59.

Verifying Upgrades and Updates

Verify the success or failure of the transfer

To verify whether a firmware upgrade succeeded, use the Network menu in the control console and

select the FTP Server option to view Last Transfer Result, or use an SNMP GET to the

mfiletransferStatusLastTransferResult OID.
