Booting a Smart Update Firmware DVD over a network Prerequisites The following is required before proceeding with the configuration: • Knowledge of PXE and TFTP. • A network with a DHCP server on it. • A TFTP server configured on the same network as the DHCP server. • A network file server hosting the ISO images and can be accessed by a PXE booted system. • PXELINUX, located at http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX. This guide assumes that you are using a Linux TFTP server and the TFTP package, located at http:// www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp. Other TFTP servers should work similarly. Setup Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELINUX configuration is setup and configured properly. To set up PXELINUX: 1. Copy a Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO image to the network file system, and note its location. NFS and Windows file shares are supported. 2. For this example, the NFS and path to the ISO image used is 192.168.0.99:/path/to/ fwdvd/image/FW900.iso. Test your network file system to ensure that is accessible before proceeding. 3.

Setup
Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELINUX configuration
is setup and configured properly. To set up PXELINUX:
1.
Copy a Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO image to the network file system, and note its
location. NFS and Windows file shares are supported.
2.
For this example, the NFS and path to the ISO image used is
192.168.0.99:/path/to/
fwdvd/image/FW900.iso
. Test your network file system to ensure that is accessible before
proceeding.
3.
Copy all the files from the
/system
directory of the DVD to your TFTP server so that it is
accessible by the TFTP software.
4.
To access the
/system
directory of the DVD, burn and mount the ISO image, or extract it
using a third-party tool.
Configuring PXELINUX
1.
Using the
isolinux.cfg
file from the
/system/
directory of the DVD as a guide, copy the
labeled targets to your PXELINUX configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:
