7.1. PROCEDURES FOR UPGRADING THE FRAME CONTROLLER IMAGE VistaLINK
®
The 7700FC Frame Controller facilitates communication between the SNMP-enabled (VistaLINK
®
) cards,
residing in a frame and the SNMP Manager (VistaLINK
®
PRO). Frequently, new cards or new features for
existing cards are added to the VistaLINK
®
product family. In both cases, a new Management Information
Base (“MIB”) exists. Subsequently, the 7700FC should also be upgraded with the latest information
(“image”) to maintain the most up to date monitoring and control capabilities.
The 7700FC Frame Controller image can be upgraded by two different procedures, which are outlined in
sections 7.2 and 7.3. Using the procedures outlined in sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 determine which
procedure is needed based on the following criteria:
The two criteria are:
1. 7700FC Image is “fc_release-2-19-b1” or greater.
2. 7700FC Boot version is “Revision 2.0 Build 12”.
If both the criteria are met, then the 7700FC Frame Controller can be upgraded using the Remote
Upgrade procedure outlined in section 7.2. If both of the criteria is not met then you will have to use the
Serial Card Edge Upgrade procedure outlined in section 7.3.
