Firmware Upgrade:
The ES-2024A uses FTP to upgrade firmware in run-time through its built-in FTP server. You
can use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to upgrade ES-2024A. The upgrade
procedure is as follows:
Upgrade ES-2024A FW:
C:\> ftp <ES-2024A IP address>
User : admin
Password: 1234
230 Logged in
ftp> put 360TX0C0.bin ras
ftp> bye
Where
•User name : the management user name, admin by default
•Password : the management password, 1234 by default
•360TX0C0.bin : the name of firmware file you want to upgrade
•ras : the internal firmware name in ES-2024A
Configuration Upgrade:
The ES-2024A uses FTP to upgrade firmware in run-time through its built-in FTP server. You
can use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to upgrade ES-2024A. The upgrade
procedure is as follows:
Upgrade ES-2024A configuration:
C:\> ftp <ES-2024A IP address>
User : admin
Password: 1234
230 Logged in
ftp> put 360TX0C0.rom rom-0
