Upgrading the AlterPath PM Firmware
Starting with version 1.1.0, the AlterPath PM firmware can be upgraded
through its “In” port.
The upgrade procedure described here is only valid for units that are currently
running firmware versions 1.3.0 or greater. If your AlterPath PM unit is
running an older firmware version, please follow the instructions in the
manual that corresponds to the firmware currently installed on the AlterPath
PM. Older versions of this manual can be found at:
ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/alterpath/pm/doc/
T To Upgrade PM Firmware
1. Download the new AlterPath PM firmware from the Cyclades website.

the Cyclades website, at http://www.cyclades.com/support/

The <ipdu number> is the number of the IPDU to which you want to
upgrade the firmware. If you have only one AlterPath PM unit, type
upgrade 1. If you have, for instance, three units in a daisy chain, type
upgrade 3 or upgrade 2 depending on which unit you want to
upgrade.
If you have a daisy chain and you want to upgrade all units, Cyclades
advises you to start from the last unit and work your way towards the first.
