Lantronix MPS100 User Manual

MPS/LPS User Guide D: Updating Software
D-3
Note: EZWebCon can also be used to reload software.
If a host provides DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP support, it can be used
to set the MPS IP address.
Some BOOTP and TFTP implementations require a specific
directory for the MPS100.SYS file. See your host’s documentation
for instructions.
To manually configure the MPS IP parameters for software reload,
use the following commands.
Figure 22: Configuring TCP/IP Reload
Local> SET PRIVILEGED
Password> SYSTEM (not echoed)
Local>> DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Local>> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE “/tftpboot/MPS100.SYS”
Local>> DEFINE SERVER LOADHOST nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Local>> LIST SERVER BOOT
Local>> INITIALIZE RELOAD
Note: For instructions on how to log into the MPS to enter these
commands, see Getting Started on page 3-1.
The path and filename are case-sensitive and must be enclosed in
quotation marks. When attempting to boot across an IP router, you
must configure the router to proxy-ARP for the MPS, or use the
bootgateway feature. For more information, see Set/Define
Bootgateway in the Commands chapter of the Print Server
Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.
NetWare
The MPS100.SYS file should be placed in the login directory on the
NetWare file server. The MPS cannot actually log into the file
server (since it knows no username/password); it can only access
files in the login directory itself. On the MPS, specify the file server
name, filename, and path.
