12 Press Browse to select the software upgrade package (ZIP file).
A standard Windows File Selection dialog box appears.
13 Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive.
The selected file’s path name is displayed in the edit box to the left of the Browse button.
Note: The extraction process of the ZIP file is handled as part of the upgrade process. You
do not need to extract the files yourself. To view the contents of the ZIP file, click Package
Info.
14 Press Submit Transfer.
A dialog box appears.
15 Confirm that you want to proceed with the request.
If you have multiple modules selected, multiple transfer tasks are submitted—one per
device.
The transfer now progresses. You may minimize the Software Upgrade dialog box,
continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to view the status of the transfers.
Note: Closing the Software Upgrade dialog box does not effect any transfer processes
that may be running in the background. If you try to log off or exit the CCS software while
a transfer is underway, a notification dialog box will alert you that processes are still active
and will ask if you want to terminate these processes.
16 Click on the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly
updated.
Each upgraded module automatically reboots following an upgrade procedure.
In the unlikely event that an upgrade fails (because of such situations as network
interruptions, power failures, etc.), the upgraded module may not respond to controls and
will appear to be non-functional. Follow the procedures described in Correcting a Failed
Upgrading Procedure on page 40.
Correcting a
Failed
Upgrading
Procedure
Firmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if the
wrong upgrade package was transferred to the module. These problems can be corrected
by upgrading the firmware while the module is in Boot Loader mode. The upgrade will not
work unless you put the module in Boot Loader mode.
Note: If you have not already downloaded the most recent appropriate upgrade package
from our website or from your CD-ROM, do so now.
If the module being upgraded is a 6800+ETH module, see Correcting a Firmware
Upgrade with a 6800+ETH on page 42. Otherwise, follow the steps in Putting the
Module in Boot Loader Mode on page 40, and then upgrade your module again.
Putting the Module in Boot Loader Mode
Follow these steps to put your the module in Boot Loader mode:
1 Remove the affected module from the 6800+ frame.
