NOTE

IMPORTANT If the Model 430 is being upgraded from Version 1.59
or earlier, proceed to the upgrade procedure in section on
page 221.

NOTE

These instructions apply specifically to the Microsoft Windows
operating system. For other operating systems, please make
adjustments as appropriate.

ARDWARE

AND

OFTWARE

EQUIREMENTS

1. Personal Computer (PC) networked by Ethernet to the system on which the

target Model 430 resides,

PC connected directly to the target Model 430 via a “null-modem” or “cross-
over” Ethernet cable.

NOTE

Most modern computers will negotiate the direct connection
cross-over automatically with a standard Ethernet cable.

2. The Model430.exe upgrade file extracted from the zip file (typically of the

same name) provided by AMI.

3. FileZilla

or other appropriate FTP Client installed on the PC. For this proce-

dure an open-source FTP client called FileZilla is illustrated.

Also included is an alternative upload procedure using the command-line
interface of the built-in Windows FTP client that requires no software installa-
tion (see page 220).

REPARATION

1. Install FileZilla or another appropriate FTP Client on the PC that will used for

the upgrade.

2. The AMI Model 430 can be upgraded through a file server, or similar net-

work, or via direct Ethernet connection to the PC:

a. Via Network:

(1.) Make a new “Upgrade” folder located in an appropriate

location on the file server.

(2.) Extract and save the AMI-supplied upgrade-file, Mod-

el430.exe, to the new folder.

(3.) Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.

9. Available free at
