Features and How To Use Them
Upgrading the S530
Save the update file (530-x.yy.zzz-std-a71.udf) to a directory on your PC or an FTP server. FTP upgrades can be
done in either of two ways: by using the S530’s FTP client to get the update file, or sending the update file from
another host to the S530’s FTP server. Following are the instructions for both methods.
Note:
It is highly recommended to make a copy of the Setting Keys file before performing the update.
Normally, settings are preserved when the unit is updated. However, under some rare circumstances settings can
be lost during the update process.
S530 as FTP client method:
From the command line type:
xf f get <update filename> <host> <username>
(note: you can type ‘xf’ at the
command prompt to get usage for this command.)
Here is an actual session:
xf f get 530-x.yy.zzz-std-a71.udf 10.10.5.32 anonymous
Receiving 530-x.yy.zzz-std-a71.udf via FTP
Anonymous’s password:
……..
COMPLETE
<and the update starts here>
S530 as FTP server method:
1) Make an FTP connection to the S530 using a username and password that has MASTER rights.
2) Type
hash
at the FTP prompt. (This is optional - it just creates hash marks (###) while the file is transferring
so you can see something happening.)
3) At the next FTP prompt type:
put drive:\directory\<update filename>
For example: put C:\upgrades\530-x.yy.zzz-std-a71.udf
4) Hash marks will now appear to show you that the file is transferring. When the transfer is complete you will be
returned to an FTP prompt.
5) Type:
BYE
at the FTP prompt. The unit still has to process this file, which takes about 5 minutes, at which time
the unit will reboot. When the unit detects the update file and begins processing it. Wait until the unit reboots
before proceeding.
6) After the S530 reboots, connect to it and either check the top line of the Status screen, or type
VER
at the
command line. You should see that the unit is now upgraded to the new version.
7) Check your settings to be sure none have been lost. If they have, reload the Setting Keys file.
Note:
While the S530 is processing the update file, it is very important that the unit not be power-cycled, nor
should the Reset button be pushed.
Note:
The update file can be transferred via several other methods, including Xmodem, Zmodem, Ymodem,
ASCII, TFTP and SFTP. Contact
for instructions.
