Firmware file transfer methods
You can transfer the latest firmware to a VCPS using one of the following
methods:
• Upload the firmware to a VCPS using FTP or SCP.
• Download the firmware from an FTP server (if your company or agency
has a centralized FTP server from which to obtain firmware).
Instructions for using FTP or SCP. For you to be able to use FTP or SCP
to upgrade a single VCPS over the network:
• The VCPS must be connected to the network.
• The FTP or SSH server must be enabled at the VCPS.
• The VCPS must have its TCP/IP settings (System IP, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway addresses) configured.
Upload firmware to a VCPS
To upload firmware to a VCPS after you download it from the APC Web site:
1. Open a command prompt window on a computer that is connected to
the network. Go to the directory that contains the firmware upgrade
files, and list the files. For the directory C:\apc, the commands would
be those shown in bold:
C:\>cd apc
C:\apc>dir
The file listed for a VCPS, for example, might be the following:
–apc_hw10_vcps_100_623.bin
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
To use SCP, skip to step 7.
