CHAPTER 38

Firmware and Configuration File

Maintenance

This chapter tells you how to back up and restore your configuration file as well as upload new

firmware and a new configuration file.

38.1 Introduction

Use the instructions in this chapter to change the LAN-Cell’s configuration file or upgrade its

firmware. After you configure your LAN-Cell, you can backup the configuration file to a

computer. That way if you later misconfigure the LAN-Cell, you can upload the backed up

configuration file to return to your previous settings. You can alternately upload the factory

default configuration file if you want to return the LAN-Cell to the original default settings.

The firmware determines the LAN-Cell’s available features and functionality. You can

download new firmware releases from Proxicast’s web site to use to upgrade your LAN-Cell’s

performance.

38.2 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings

in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from Proxicast with

a “rom” filename extension. Once you have customized the LAN-Cell's settings, they can be

saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.

ProxiOS (Proxicast Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the

system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension. With many FTP and TFTP clients, the

filenames are similar to those seen next.

ftp> put firmware.bin ras

This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file " firmware.bin" to the

LAN-Cell.

ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg

This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file

“config.cfg”.

If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the

source, you will need to rename them as the LAN-Cell only recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be

sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
