Update FLASH Software
Select Update Flash Software from the Utilities menu to update software using either XMODEM protocol
or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP):
NOTE
Before beginning update of FLASH software, ADTRAN recommends
disabling the Auto Save feature (from the System Management menu).
Update Via XMODEM
Updating the FLASH Software via XMODEM requires that a VT100 terminal menu session be active
through the MX2800 craft port. To update the software via XMODEM, follow the steps below:
1. From the MX2800 Main Menu, select Configuration, select Utilities, select Update FLASH Software,
select Update via XMODEM.
2. Once it has been determined where the new binary file is located, select Start to begin the transfer.
3. Once Start has been selected, start the XMODEM transfer from the terminal menu program that is
being used by selecting or typing the file path for the location of the new binary file. Refer to the
appropriate documentation for the terminal emulator to begin XMODEM transfer.
4. After selecting the binary file, the XMODEM transfer begins. To cancel a transfer in progress, press
Ctrl+X three times. The
ACT LED on the active card is solid amber for the duration of XMODEM
transfer. The
ACT LED on the standby card is flashing green.
5. If updating a unit with redundant controller cards, the active controller begins uploading the new code
to the standby controller after the XMODEM transfer has completed and the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its FLASH memory. If the unit does not have redundant
controller cards, go to step 7.
6. While the standby card is having code uploaded, the
ACT LED on the standby card is solid amber.
After the code has finished uploading to the standby card, the card resets and begins running the new
code.
CAUTION
The standby card must remain in place until the upload process is
complete and the
ACT LED is no longer solid amber and returns to
flashing green. Removing the standby card during the uploading process
corrupts the software.
7. The system must be manually reset after downloading new software for the active controller card to
begin running the new code. From the Utilities menu, select System Reset, and then select either
Immediate Reset to immediately reset the system or Schedule Reset Time to set a time for the system
to reset. Once the system has been reset, the new software is active.
