How to use TFTP to perform firmware upgrade using Windows 2000 / XP: ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) goto the Windows DOS Box or DOS prompt 2) power off and on the socket ethernet module or MultiConnect adapter 3) make sure you can ping the Socket Ethernet module 4) type in command "tftp -i xxx put yyy AMD-tftp.bin" xxx is the ip address of the socket ethernet module yyy is the firmware file name NOTE : after firmware upgrade, all settings will be reset back to factory default. Firmware VERSION 3.06, DATED October 7, 2005: --------------------------------------------- New Features and enhancements: ------------------------------ 1. Added basic Modem Emulation Feature using standard AT commands 2. Added MII Tool to allow setting the speed of the ethernet port 3. Added command "set login http-host-login ” to enable or disable host page login 4. Added “show ip eth0 link-status ” to check the ethernet link status 5. Changed DHCP client so it sends out discovery every 10 seconds. This will help acquiring IP address quicker 6. Auto-Dialin telnet can now use Host name to connect to remote server. Command change: from: - set serial s0 auto-dialin-ip (obsolete) to: - set serial s0 auto-dialin-host 7. Send Hostname option when DHCP client is making request 8. When initiate TCP session, it will use randon Source port on every power up. It also use random source port everytime it initiates a TCP session 9. Manually control the ethernet Link LED due to new ethernet PHY 10. Allowed getting into command mode during boot up when auto-dialin is enabled. After Ready prompt, you have 3 seconds to press Control+C to abort the auto-dialin session. 11. Added support for SMTP authentication 12. Allow FTP client to transmit multiple files within one FTP connection. Added -m option for the ftp command 13. Allow FTP client to transmit and specify the destination directory. Added -d option for the ftp transmit command 14. Update HTTP pages and SNMP for all the new commands Bug fixes: ---------- 1. Fixed Login string and size problem 2. Fixed Disconnecting dialin session by dropping DTR 3. Fixed File size problem in FTP transfer 4. Fixed Auto-dialin retry 5. CLI commands will ignore all “~” character 6. When raw mode is set, it applies to port 23 also for Serial dialin 7. Fixed Auto-Discovery when DHCP client is enable on the ethernet port 8. DHCP client and discovery will keep trying forever 9. Fixed telnet inactivity timeout disconnect problem. 10. Fixed RAW TCP socket connection buffer issue 11. Fixed Data bits(7) and parity(odd) issue with command mode. 12. Fixed FTP client and escape problem when data stream contains ^C^D^Z Firmware VERSION 3.01, DATED Sep-3-2004: ---------------------------------------- New Features: ------------- 1) Web configuration 2) SNMPv1 Agent for IP Module Configuration and Statistics 3) Support WinMCSI Com Port Redirector 4) Raw UDP Socket Support 5) FTP Client 6) SNTP Client Firmware VERSION 2.09, DATED July-13-2004: ------------------------------------------ 1. Fixed pop3 client compatibility problems with some pop3 server 2. telnet client does not print any connect messages when initiating a connection Firmware VERSION 2.07, DATED June-10-2004: ------------------------------------------ 1. Fixed modem initialization problem when using PPP bridge mode 2. Added new command "set serial s0 dialout-monitor dtr/none". This command allows the serial device to terminate the telnet session. Firmware VERSION 2.06, DATED 22-Apr-2004: ----------------------------------------- 1. Fixed SMTP Client, Quote “.” Only if it is the first character in any new line 2. Fixed SMTP client, Complete the message header with \r\n before sending the subject. 3. Fixed Buffer-data and Buffer-time parameter settings, Buffer-data can only accept maximum value of 255. Buffer-time can only accept maximum of 255 (1 = 1/10 of a second). Now Data will be sent based on buffer-data and buffer-time settings 4. Fixed HTTP Server default page display. Host the serial page with parameter values for the first request from the browser. 5. Fixed HTTP server cgi-bin script. Change the executable permissions of the user-defined cgi-* shell scripts that are uploaded using tftp. Firmware VERSION 2.05, DATED 10-Apr-2004: ----------------------------------------- - Fixed Mac address update problem when doing tftp upgrade which set the ethernet Mac address to a dummy address Firmware VERSION 2.04, DATED 30-Jan-2004: ----------------------------------------- DO NOT perform TFTP upgrade using firwmare 2.04 - Fixed problem when ADM tries to submit IP subnet mask changes - added new command to turn on / off Command echo : "set serial s0 echo-command " Firmware VERSION 2.03, DATED 20-Oct-2003: ----------------------------------------- - When the Telnet Client session is terminated either by the Telnet Server/Telnet Client itself, the control is transferred to the "Login prompt" thereby unlocking the serial port for future use. - Internal GPIO18 pin set to INPUT in the boot-loader. Firmware VERSION 2.02, DATED 29-SEP-2003: ----------------------------------------- Fixes: ------ 1. TCP_NODELAY Fix. This will send out serial data to ethernet immediately. Ethernet Data packet size will be smaller so application server does not timeout Changes: -------- 1. TCP Keepalive set to 3 minutes. 2. The LOGIN-STRING match on the serial side. Only on this string match, the login prompt or the command shell is displayed on the serial side. Can be set to "" which is the default. This command must use with "set serial s0 auto-dialin trig-mode char" 3. CRON job which checks every 3 minutes whether the Telnet Autodialout application is running. If NOT the serial port is released. This ensures the serial port is available, if the Telnet Autodialout is killed by the kernel. New commands added: ------------------- 1. To set the TCP Keepalive. TCP session will terminate if connection does not response within the keep alive period. #set ip tcp-keepalive Default is set to 3 mins 2. To set the Login string on the serial side. This is for auto-dialin #set serial s0 login-string Applicable only if the "set auto-dialin trig-mode = char" Firmware VERSION 2.01, DATED 21-AUG-2003: ----------------------------------------- Fixes: 1. The Telnet Auto-dialout and Serial Auto-dialin port-number range is increased from (1-16000) to (1-65535).
