Appendix A. Uploading Procedures

This appendix will teach you

The MOB-IP-SIM includes FTP and HTTP content servers to which custom content may be uploaded. The operating system of the MOB-IP-SIM may also, if required, be updated by FTP.

The user has complete read/write access to the embedded FTP server. The user account is accessible with a user name of test and password of ftp. To view the files using a web browser, ftp to the simulator using the format ftp://test:ftp@ipaddress/. The server ships with the following five binary test files:

You can install more files with any standard FTP client. To update the operating system, FTP the binary file into the root directory of the MOB-IP-SIM, naming it upgrade.bin. After the transfer is complete, click on the Restart button at the bottom of the Configuration menu. The ERROR LED will blink once, then remain on during the the reset process, which will take five to ten minutes following the firmware upload. Normal operation will be possible when the ERROR light has gone off.

The embedded HTTP server reads the following files or directories from the web directory that is also accessible by FTP:

Of the above HTML files, only the index.html file is modifiable by the user, though custom HTML pages may be installed to provide content for mobile access testing. To view the files using a web browser, ftp to the simulator using the format ftp://test:ftp@ipaddress/web/.
