The invention discloses an
Ethernet tftp protocol-based remote online
software upgrading method, which comprises the following steps of: transmitting an upgrading file of equipment to be upgraded to EMS (Enhanced
Management System) equipment through a PC (
Personal Computer) network end, arranging a file uploading interface on the EMS equipment, and receiving the upgrading file from the network by the interface; the
upgrade file is uploaded to the EMS device by using a
secure file transfer protocol such as HTTPS or SFTP. According to the remote online
software upgrading method based on the
Ethernet tftp protocol, an EMS adopts a Linux
system architecture, the EMS develops
data interface support, the EMS has a networking function, files can be conveniently and remotely placed in EMS equipment for storage, the EMS and RTCs are connected through the
Ethernet, if multiple RTCs are connected with the EMS, a
local area network is formed through a switch, and due to the fact that IPs of the RTCs are different, the remote online
software upgrading can be achieved through the Ethernet. The EMS can send an instruction to enable a single RTC device to enter the upgrading state, and can also send an instruction to enable all RTCs in the
local area network to enter the upgrading state, so that upgrading of any number of slave devices is realized.
