TITLE: Evo T30 128/128 NTe/PXE Binary Firmware (ICA, RDP, TEC, IE) VERSION: 4.41 B219 Rev A DESCRIPTION: This contains a Rapport Nte/PXE Firmware update that can be loaded on an Evo T30 128/128 using Rapport or the NetXfer tool. The add-ons included in this build are: Adobe v4.05 ICA v6.20.985 IE v5.51.4807.2300 Netmeeting v4.4.3388 RDP v5.00.2195.1 TEC v1.6.0 VNC v3,3,3,7 PURPOSE: Routine Release SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP23739 SUPERSEDES: None EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 2003 CATEGORY: OS and OS Enhancements SSM SUPPORTED: No PRODUCT TYPE(S): Thin Clients PRODUCT MODEL(S): Thin Client Evo T30 128/128 (P/N 305254-xx1 only) OPERATING SYSTEM(S): OS Independent LANGUAGE(S): US English ENHANCEMENTS: - Adds Write Filter to increase product reliability by protecting the terminal from undesired flash memory writes. - Adds PXE to provide a Pre-boot Execution Environment, allowing image re-flash from a server in rare cases when the Thin Client is suspected of having an incorrect image. PREREQUISITES: Rapport 3.02 Service Pack 2 or later must be installed. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive. The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. The PXE upgrade process is accomplished using the "Pull" and "Push" scripts that are pre-registered in Rapport 3.02 SP2. There are 2 methods for this process: METHOD 1 (PREFERRED) (1) Using the NetXfer tool, copy and paste the binary into the NetXfer folder, rename to "bootp.bin", and send down the image to the client. (For additional instruction on the Netxfer tool download SP22454) (2) With the client attached to the network, send the appropriate "Pull" script in Rapport to the client. This will pull the image from the client into the inetpub\ftproot\Rapport directory under the folder of the same name. EX - If you pulled an image using the "Pull_T20PXE_Image" script, it would then copy the "putT20.i2d" file into the corresponding "Pull_T20PXE_Image" folder. (3) Copy and paste the pulled image file into the corresponding "Push" folder. Ex - Using the example above, you would copy the "putT20.i2d" file into the "Push_T20PXE_Image" folder. (4) Run the appropriate "Push" script to the other clients you wish to push the image down to. Ex. - Using the same example above, you would run the "Push_T20PXE_Image" script to the other client(s). METHOD 2 (1) Rename the binary (Ex. H064B218.bin) to "putT20.i2d" or "putT30.i2d" based upon on the appropriate platform. (2) Copy the newly named *.i2d file to the appropriate platform "Push" folder in the software repository. (3) Distribute the appropriate "Push" package to the target client. CAUTION - The renamed binaries are subtly different than the i2d files that are created by using "Pull" scripts within Rapport. When they are sent to the client(s), the renamed binaries will not do the following checks that are done by the "Pulled" i2d files: (A) Check for correct flash size (B) Check for correct NOR configuration (Ex. - images pushed to 192/256 configurations must be created for 192/256 configurations) (C) Check for correct platform (Ex. - T20 -> T20 or T30 -> T30 only) If a renamed binary is "pushed" to a non-corresponding platform or flash configuration, the image could be corrupted. EX - Rename a T20 64/64 NTE PXE binary and then push the renamed binary to a T30 128/128 NTE PXE. Even though neither the flash nor the platform correspond, the image could still go down to the client and corrupt the image. Copyright (c) 2003 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
