Updating Firmware via the Console Menus
1.
Connect to the Total Access 850 using the RCU faceplate
CRAFT
(DB-9) or rear
CRAFT
(RJ-45)
interface. Selecting a higher baud rate connection makes the file transfer process faster. Verify that the
baud rate setting on the Total Access 850 matches the VT100 emulation software COM port settings.
If you are not already connected to the shelf’s RCU faceplate
CRAFT
or rear
CRAFT
interface (either
with a VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the
procedure in
DLP-1, Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the CRAFT Port
. Connecting to the RCU
faceplate
CRAFT
or rear
CRAFT
interface limits the upgrade procedure to XMODEM only.
2.
Log in to the unit.
3.
Go to the
S
YSTEM
U
TILITY
menu and select the
U
PGRADE
F
IRMWARE
menu; press
<Enter>
.
4.
Go to the
T
RANSFER
M
ETHOD
menu and select
XMODEM
.
5.
Select
S
TART
T
RANSFER
to start the update process. Enter
Y
to confirm the upgrade.
6.
From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command
sequence. If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help.
Also, when specifying the filename, ensure that the file transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN,
otherwise, the update will not complete successfully. This may take several minutes.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the Total Access 850 will be inoperable from the RCU faceplate
CRAFT
or rear
CRAFT
interface. You
can cancel the update at any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the
documentation provided by the terminal emulation software to determine how to do this.)
7.
When the update process has successfully completed, the following messages will display:
Verifying downloaded FLASH image...
Erasing FLASH...
Programming FLASH...
FLASH programmed successfully.
The Total Access 850 will restart immediately and the user may then log back into the system.
Alternately, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a
PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. By utilizing the
ETHERNET
port, the
Total Access 850 may be quickly upgraded using TFTP, provided there is a TFTP server on the local
network. The Total Access 850 ships with ADTRAN Utilities software, which includes a TFTP server.
See
DLP-7, Updating the Firmware using TFTP
, for more details.
Perform the steps below in the order listed.
Total Access 850 XMODEM transfers are compatible with 1K XMODEM on the VT100
terminal system. Selecting 1K XMODEM on your terminal session will make the
configuration transfer faster.
