64 DOMINION SX I NSTALLATION AND O PERATIONS MANUALUpgradeThe Upgrade feature allows an Administrator to upgrade the Dominion SX unit's firmware/application to a newerversion of firmware. Firmware and application upgrades preserve user-defined settings, so the unit does not need tobe re-configured after the upgrade procedure is complete.In order to perform a firmware upgrade, the Administrator must download the upgrades file(s) onto a local FTPserver and needs the IP address of the FTP server and the file path to the upgrade file(s). Many upgrades can beperformed "anonymously" from the FTP server, and the default settings of this screen are for an anonymous upgrade.However, some FTP servers require a user name and password. If this is the case, the Administrator can uncheck the"Anonymous" box and enter the correct user name and password for the FTP server.Once the upgrade is initiated, the status bar will indicate the progress of the upgrade and a pop-up window willnotify the user once the upgrade procedure is complete.Figure 68 Upgrade DisplayUpgrades can be done of the complete software (AmpAdmin package) and the various applications (AmpApppackage) supplied by Raritan. The upgrade steps are similar for both cases.To Perform a Complete Software Upgrade:1. Click on the [Upgrade] button in the left panel.2. Enter the IP Address where the software package is located.3. Enter the File Path to the software package, for example, /pub/Dominion/AmpAdmin.4. Enter FTP Username and Password, if required.5. Click on the [Upgrade] button.6. The unit will access the FTP server and download and install the file(s) onto the unit.7. The unit will automatically reboot after the software is installed.Important! During an upgrade procedure, do not attempt to access any unit features or functions,including, but not limited to, Reset and Exit. Interrupting the upgrade procedure can cause memorycorruption and render the unit non-functional. Such an action voids your warranty or service contract, andin such a case unit repair/replacement costs are solely the responsibility of the user.
