How to upgrade multiple ATSs
Use one of these three methods:
• Firmware Upgrade Utility: Use this for multiple firmware updates in IPv4 if you have Windows.
The utility records all upgrade steps in a log as a good reference to validate the upgrade.
• Export configuration settings: You can create batch files and use a utility to retrieve
configuration settings from multiple ATSs and export them to other ATSs. See Release Notes:.ini
File Utility, version 2.0, available in the Knowledge Base at www.apc.com.
• Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple ATSs: To upgrade multiple ATSs using an FTP client or
using SCP, write a script which automatically performs the procedure.
NOTE: Utility is available from the Knowledge Base: www.apc.com
Use the Firmware Upgrade Utility for multiple upgrades
After downloading the Upgrade Utility, double click on the .exe file to run the utility (which ONLY works with
IPv4) and follow these steps to upgrade your ATS firmware:
1. Type in an IP address, a user name, and a password, and choose the Ping button if you need to
verify an IP address.
2. Choose the Device List button to open the iplist.txt file. This should list any device IP,
user name, and password. For example,
SystemIP=192.168.0.1
SystemUserName=apc
SystemPassword=apc
You can use an existing iplist.txt file if it already exists.
3. Select the Upgrade From Device List check box to use the iplist.txt file.
4. Choose the Upgrade Now button to start the firmware version update(s).
5. Choose View Log to verify any upgrade.
Verifying Upgrades and Updates
Verify the success or failure of the transfer
To verify whether a firmware upgrade succeeded, use the xferStatus command in the command line
interface to view the last transfer result, or use an SNMP GET to the mfiletransferStatusLastTransferResult
OID.
