Downloading Firmware to
Port Circuit Packs
You can download updated application code for a port circuit pack on site or
remotely. This eliminates the need to physically remove the circuit pack and send
it to the factory for the firmware update. This feature is available on all DEFINITY
ECS platforms—r, si, csi—and DEFINITY ONE or IP600.
The port circuit packs supported are:
■ UDS1 family of circuit packs—TN464GP, TN2464BP, and TN2313AP
■ TN2302AP IP Media Processor
NOTE:
The P suffix designation means the circuit pack is programmable; new
firmware can be downloaded directly to the circuit pack.
To download firmware to these circuit packs, the DEFINITY ONE or IP600 system
requires:
■ One source board—TN799DP Control Lan (C-LAN) circuit pack—with an
Ethernet data module administered
■ Target port circuit packs with P designation
■ DEFINITY ONE or IP600 Release 9 Issue 3.0 (or later) software
■ Customer superuser or services login and password.
On an IBM-compatible PC:
■ Windows 2000
■ Modem
■ Direct connection to source board through a hub if done on site
■ Remote connection to source board if done off site
■ Connection to Internet
■ File transfer protocol (FTP) software program
■ Web browser (Netscape 4.5 or Internet Explorer 5 or higher)
Although the download is normally done from a PC, it can be done from other
servers, such as UNIX.
