NOTE
This function is available only when updating the software through the
CRAFT port.
Update via TFTP Server
Updating the FLASH Software via TFTP Server requires that the IP address and file name of the file to be
downloaded is known. To update the software via TFTP, follow the steps below:
1. Select Update via TFTP Server from the Utilities menu. A new menu displays allowing the entry of the
IP address and the filename of the file to be downloaded to the unit. Once this information is entered,
select Start/Stop Transfer.
2. The TFTP transfer begins. The
ACT LED on the active card is solid amber for the duration of TFTP
transfer. The
ACT LED on the standby card is flashing green.
NOTE
To cancel a transfer in progress, press Ctrl-x three times.
3. When a unit with redundant controller cards is to be updated, the active controller uploads 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 5.
4. While the standby card is uploaded, the
ACT LED on the standby card is solid amber. After the upload
is complete on 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. Removing the
standby card during the uploading process corrupts the software.
5. 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.
