FRM301 SNMP Upgrade Procedure
Prerequisites:
FRM301 3U Chassis with SNMP,
Hardware version 3.1G (This is actually the third hardware release version of SNMP for FRM301)
Identified by CPU chip Winbond (Nuvoton) W90P710CDG (Not for Samsung ARM processor!!!!)
DB9F to DB9M 1:1 cable
Notebook or PC with available COM port and TCP/IP ready
Console emulation software (PuTTY, HyperTerminal or Tera Term)
TFTP server (CTCU TFTP Server for Windows)
Upgrade firmware, for version 5.02, released as 'romfs502.gz' file which is Unix GZIPped image files (DO
NOT UNZIP this file.)
Procedure:
1. Connect the SNMP's DB9F serial port to the desktop's or laptop's COM port with 1:1 configuration
cable.
2. Start the terminal application and configure it for:
a. 38.4k baud (exception: version 5.01 release used 115.2k baud)
b. 8 pits
c. no parity
d. 1 stop bit
e. no flow control
3. Connect the SNMP's RJ-45 Ethernet port to the desktop's or Laptop's Ethernet LAN port. Configure
TCP/IP settings on the PC as follows:
a. static IP 192.168.0.145
b. subnet mask 255.255.255.0
c. gateway 192.168.0.254
4. Start the TFTP application program by double-clicking. It was extracted with the upgrade package. If
the firewall complains, select 'Unblock'. Make sure all 'gz' and 'bin' files are located in the same
Online Upgrade Procedure
5. FileSystem Upgrade: Reboot the SNMP and allow it to completely boot. Upgrade may also be
performed on an online system, adjust the IP settings of TFTP server and image names without
changing SNMP IP address. For this version 5.02 upgrade, kernel does not require update.

The above screen indicates the SNMP firmware version is 5.01 and that the CPU controller card is
version 2.17 (‘-17’). The controller card cannot be upgraded via software, only by chip change.
6. Key in the 'S' command to enter the System Configuration and TFTP Setup.

7. If required, change the settings to match these below, or set for your network environment.
(1) IP Address:
192.168.0.219
8. Open a command window on the laptop or desktop PC and ping the SNMP. Make sure the network
connection works and is reliable.
9. On the laptop or PC, if the TFTP application is not already running, start it now by double clicking
the server icon. Note: A Linux box on the network can also act as a TFTP server if configured properly.
You can even upload the files to your TFTP server and then perform upgrade from Telnet of
FRM301-SNMP remotely.
(It is necessary to disable the built-in firewall in Windows temporarily to perform the upgrade process.)
10. On the laptop or PC, in the terminal screen and while in the SNMP System Configuration Setup,
press the 'F' key to do File System upgrade. Answer with y

11. After the flash is written, the SNMP will automatically reboot. Make sure to change the baud rate of
the console terminal to 38.4K when upgrading from 5.01 to 5.02. (38.4K is the original baud rate for
previous version SNMP. Returning it to 38.4k from 115.2k keeps previous documentation for FRM301
accurate.)
