Issue:
There is likely an issue will be encountered while trying to upgrade the UPS FW over the web interface
Product Line:
SRTL3KRM1UNC, SRTL3KRM1UC, SRTL2K2RM1UNC and SRTL2K2RM1UC
Environment:
All part numbers, all serial numbers
Resolution:
It is recommended to use SCP or SSH if upgrading the UPS firmware remotely. Please see the following steps for the procedure.
Steps
- Use “scp” to transfer firmware image file to root folder of NMC. For example: “scp <image_file> <username>@<NMC_ip_address>:\<image_file>”
- Use ssh to log into NMC, issue “upsfwupdate -install -file A:\<image_file>” command to start upgrading UPS firmware.
Example
- NMC IP address is 10.191.15.107
- Username is apc.
- Image file: SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc (could be different depending on UPS ID and FW you are uploading)
- OS: Windows 10

Note
- If you encounter “scp: Connection closed” error as shown below when you use scp command to transfer firmware image file to NMC, you need to add “-O” option.
| C:\fw_image>scp SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc apc@10.191.15.107:\SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc apc@10.191.15.107's password: scp: Connection closed |
Example of adding “-O” option to force using the original SCP protocol.
| C:\fw_image>scp -O SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc apc@10.191.15.107:\SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc apc@10.191.15.107's password: SRTL1034UPS_06-7.enc 100% 1556KB 161.6KB/s 00:09 |
This is the description of “-O” option.
