NOTE:
If you want to load new software to a remote shelf (if allowed) directly
from a PC, use the ins-prog:tid command where the tid entered is
that of the remote shelf where you want to install the new software and
the pgmtype is the type of software you want to install. After using the
ins-prog:tid command to download software to one shelf, you must
exit term (Alt F2) and re-execute term before starting a second
ins-prog: command. If term is not exited, it will stop running if a
second ins-prog: is started within the same term session. The PC will
not respond or return any message and the ins-prog: will not
progress.
NOTE:
If remote software downloading is allowed and you want to load new
software to a remote site via the DCC from a local shelf which already
contains the new software, log in (either locally or remotely) to the shelf
containing the new software, and then enter the cpy-prog:tid
command (where tid = the tid of the shelf in which you want to install the
software and the pgmtype is the type of software you want to install). [The
tid is the name given to a shelf (network element) using the set-ne:
command.] The cpy-prog:
command will only copy software from a
local controller to a remote controller; it is not used to download software
from a PC.
NOTE:
The download time will be longer (even without excessive DCC traffic)
when there are additional spans between the source and target network
elements. To minimize the download time and reduce DCC traffic, it is
recommended that multi-span software downloading be avoided by
remotely logging into the nearest shelf of the same type and remotely
downloading the new program from that shelf.
NOTE:
If you are using a PC operating in a
Windows
*
environment, you must
exit
Windows
and restart your PC in
MS-DOS
*
mode before performing
these download procedures. For example, if your PC is running
Windows
95
you must exit
Windows
by clicking on the Start button, then Shut
Down, then Restart the computer in
MS-DOS
mode.
Obtain equipment, check software, and connect PC for download.
