1) Upgrading using the Java update tool
2) Upgrading using FTP

*********************************************WARNING******************************************
Since SNMPWEBCARD version 12.04.0048 is using the new hardware, any SNMPWEBCARD of a version
below 12.04.0048 (using original hardware), cannot be upgraded to version 048 or above. 
Furthermore, any SNMPWEBCARDs using the new hardware cannot be downgraded to a version below
12.04.0048.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FW UPGRADE PROCESS AS DOING SO COULD CAUSE THE CARD TO BECOME INOPERABLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ERASED SETTINGS WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Upgrading SNMPWEBCARDS/PDU's to version 12.04.0051 will cause SNMP Settings in the Settings-
Network-SNMP Tab to be erased, due to addition of SNMPv3 support.  

If utilizing 3rd party SNMP managment tools or PowerAlert NMS it will be necessary to manually 
reset those values or reset the values by uploading a paconfig.ini file to the SNMPWEBCARD with
the SNMP settings defined, a sample paconfig.ini file is included.  
Modify either the tripplite or public community names to ones used
Community0=tripplite,,,,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0,v2cUserReadWrite
Community1=public,,,,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0,v2cUserReadOnly

Optionally you can reconfigure a SNMP settings on SNMPWEBCARD manually and then log into the card via HTTP and
go to the Settings-System menu and click on the configuration tab, click write paconfig.ini, 
wait 30 seconds then click view button and once it appears in the browser, right-click and 
select save target as and save as paconfig.ini text file

Java Update Tool
**********************************************************************************************
                   		Launch the Tool
**********************************************************************************************

Double-click the bulkupdate.bat file to launch the tool.



**********************************************************************************************
				Scan Menu
**********************************************************************************************

This menu contains options used for discovering our TrippLite SNMPWEBCARDs in the network.
SNMPWEBCARDS can entered individually or a range can be specified by entering the beginning
and ending IP Address.
There are several options available that can be used to scan the network for SNMPWEBCARDs.
Options include PING/ARP, Telnet, HTTP or HTTPS.

The community string(s) used by the SNMP cards must be specified. An incorrect community string
may cause incorrect scan results. 



**********************************************************************************************
				Equip. Menu
**********************************************************************************************

This menu displays a list of SNMPWEBCARDs that have been scanned or manually entered for 
version update. In this menu, the user can add, edit, or remove 1 or more SNMPWEBCARDs.   

The "Set Global Password" button on this screen allows the user to set the username 
and password for all the SNMPWEBCARDs in one step.
If you have different usernames and/or passwords for each card, you have to manually add or 
update each of them.
NOTE: The update tool refers to these username/passwords when performing the version update.
Setting the global password in this menu does not change the card login authentication. 
It is only used during the update process.

    


**********************************************************************************************
		 		Config Menu
**********************************************************************************************

This screen is used for updating the administrative username and password for the SNMPWEBCARDs
listed on the Equipment Menu. 

A Username and Password must be defined if not at default "admin". Only cards with the defined
Username and Password will be updated with the new Username and Password.
NOTE: Only card of version 12.04.0048 and above support Username change. All other SNMPWEBCARDs
have fixed administrative user name "admin" and can only have their password updated.  



**********************************************************************************************
				Update Menu
**********************************************************************************************

This menu is used for SNMPWEBCARD version update. 

Please do not rename the image file and driver file; only the origial names are recognized by 
the application.
Also make sure the Image version chosen is correct. Wrong version may cause the card(s) to end
in an inoperable state.

Since SNMPWEBCARD version 12.04.0048 is using the new hardware, any SNMPWEBCARD of a version
below 12.04.0048 (using original hardware), cannot be upgraded to version 048 or above. 
Furthermore, any SNMPWEBCARDs using the new hardware cannot be downgraded to a version below
12.04.0048.

If a SNMPWEBCARD does not have username and password on Equipment screen, and the username and
password are not defined on this menu, the default "admin" username and "admin" password will
be used. 
If the username and password do not match the actual username and password of a SNMPWEBCARD,
the SNMPWEBCARD will not be updated.

NOTE: When a SNMPWEBCARD does not have its version on Equipment screen, Update process will 
try to query its version from the SNMPWEBCARD. If the query fails and the SNMPWEBCARD version
cannot be determined, this SNMPWEBCARD will not be updated.





UPGRADING VIA FTP SESSION
