Symmetricom NTS-200 Time Server

We have one that reset to year 2000 just on midnight between December 24 and 25... |O
UTC Time: 15:22:09
UTC Date: 05/15/2000
We have a quite old 8.0 firmware dating back to 2003
General
Bootloader: 182-9003v008
Software Build: 182-9004v008
File System Version: 182-9005v008
I found out on some forums that many were updated to 8.2 and some to 8.4 firmware, but files are unavailable.
Instead on microsemi extranet under login there's a 2008 update, but with no instructions and a weird bin file name inside the archive:
Title Description Date
NTS-200 (1.81)
Software to upgrade the NTS-200 to 1.81
10/30/2008
182-9004v8[1].4ckpt1.81.zip

anenni,
can you give me more details of where to get that file? do you need a login? I've flashed the NTS-200 before so this is quite hopeful
anenni:
You just have to register on microsemi to time sync systems here:

Inside the zip there's only a single .bin file with the same name with square brackets, that seems weird, and no instrucrions at all.
Old update instructions I found report other 2 files with extensions .fs and .bt
ftp://anthonygregory.com/Upgrade%20to%20Firmware%20Version%208.x.pdf
b0bd:
looking at your instructions, I'd just burn the .bin using the instructions you supplied above:
>f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.bin
Burn host is ready!!!
>f100 bu (Note: enter “bu”, not “bub”)
and skip the
>f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.bt
>f100 bub
and
>f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.fs
>f100 bf
parts.
since its not working anyway, not much to lose
anenni:
I thought of just skipping the other files, but the bin long file name with square brackets and 3 dots worries me a bit for ftp transfer and old filesystem naming limits.
182-9004v8[1].4ckpt1.81.bin
I opened a case and waiting.
If you want to experiment please post results. :)
