Administration

You can issue commands from the command-line interface to administer Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family products. The following table displays several administration tasks and the commands used to perform them. See the Digi Connect® Family Command Reference for more complete command descriptions.

Update firmware

boot

To update the firmware:

  1. Telnet to the Digi device command-line interface using a telnet application or hyperterm.
  2. A login prompt appears. The default user name is root and the unique default password is printed on the device label. If the password is not on the device label, the default password is dbps. If neither of the defaults work, the password may have been updated. Contact your system administrator.
  3. If you are at the bash shell, type configshell to get to the config shell.

  4. Issue the boot load command:

    #> boot load=tftp-server-ip:filename

    Replace tftp-server-ip with the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the firmware, and replace filename with the name of the file to upload.

Note The user must have permission to execute a reboot. See User Configuration.
