D.3 Warm Installation (Upgrading) Procedure -
Windows-Based Stations
You can upgrade the KCL.2 software during run time using a PC or a workstation
with a TFTP Client application (there is no need to turn off MX-2100).
Preparations
1. Run Windows.
2. Copy the distribution file, KML2100.ARJ to the desired directory of the PC
used as a management station.
3. Make sure the network management station can communicate with the
MX-2100.
4. When downloading a remote MX-2100, it is necessary to define the
downloading station as a manager on the ASCII terminal using the DEF
MANAGER command (refer to the
DEF MANAGER
command in the
Command
Set Description
appendix). This command is available with version 2.0 and up.
Downloading Procedure
1. Run the TFTP application.
2. Set the parameter values in the TFTP client software as follows:
Time-out = 20 sec
Total Retransmission = 200 sec (if available)
Host = IP address of MX-2100
Remote File = KM2100.ARJ
Local File = Enter full path for the KIM2100.ARJ file
Transfer Mode = Binary
3. When done, press the OK button.
4. The file KM2100.ARJ is now sent to MX-2100. The TFTP window displays the
number of bytes already sent. If a fault occurs, the transfer stops before the
total number of bytes of the KM2100.ARJ file is transferred and a TIME OUT
error message is displayed. The KCL.2 resets after a failed download, so wait at
least 2-3 minutes before restarting. Restart by displaying the TRANSFER menu.
5. After the transfer is successfully completed, the KCL.2 module is automatically
reset. Due to module resetting, the new software is decompressed and loaded
into the module RAM.
The red TST indicator flashes during decompression.
