I'm after Network Management Card v3.5.6 RPDU , However I can only find Win executables
Where can I find unix verrsions - or are they packedinto the executable?

Hello

There are three methods available, read in bold, A,B,C to update the firmware on these cards:

A.Windows Executable
From a networked computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, use the
firmware upgrade tool downloaded from the APC Web site.

Launch the executable file . You are prompted for card's ip address and an admin account's username /password.

B.FTP or SCP

From a networked computer on any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to
transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules.

FTP Directions

• The Management Card must be connected to the network, and its system IP, subnet
mask, and default gateway must be configured
• The FTP server must be enabled at the Management Card.
To transfer the files:
1. Open a command prompt window of a computer on the network. Go to the
directory that contains the firmware files, and list the files:
C:\>cd\apc
C:\apc>dir
For the listed files, xxx represents the firmware version number:
• apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
• apc_hw03_application_xxx.bin
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
3. Type open and the Management Card’s IP address, and press ENTER. If the port
setting for the FTP Server has changed from its default of 21, you must use the
non-default value in the FTP command.
• For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP
address by a space. For example:
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
• Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
4. Log on as Administrator; apc is the default user name and password.
5. Upgrade the AOS. (In the example, xxx is the firmware version number:
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.
7. After 20 seconds, repeat step 2 through step 5. In step 5, use the application
module file name.

SCP.

SCP directions
To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for a Management Card:

1. Identify and locate the firmware modules described in the preceding instructions for
FTP.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the
Management Card. The following example uses xxx to represent the version
number of the AOS module:
scp apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to
transfer the second firmware module to the Management Card.

C.XMODEM

XMODEM Directions

For a Network Management Card that is not on your network, use XMODEM through
a serial connection to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer to
the Management.

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 advanced signaling cable that came with the Management Card to the
selected port and to the serial port at the Management Card.
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 Management Card 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.

Thanks mmx - installed no probs, updated to APP 3.5.6 AOS: 3.5.7 - however cant use snmp v1 now - do I need the correct MIB? I was using powernet367.mib before I upgraded - Is there anywhere you can find the correct mibs for your firmware version?

Thanks for your help
