• Log out from SCANS and wait for the SCANS system to send the SU(s) over the
SCANS data link (connected to port 0 on the High Speed Bus Interface [HSI]).
This could take up to 24 hours.
• Monitor the status of the SCANS download.
• Verify download is complete.
• Proceed to the “Make Software Update(s) Official,” Procedure 5.4, to apply the
SU. Be sure to review the SU and follow any supplied instructions.
Note: Become completely familiar with the SCANS system prior to running this
procedure.
There is a 24-hour time limit imposed from the time the switch is primed until
SCANS must begin the data session. If SCANS puts the software update load request
in the queue, it may take up to that 24-hour limit to start sending data to the switch.
IN REMOTE STARTED is output to indicate the start of the data session. The IN
REMOTE REPT message may be output periodically during the session to indicate
download progress. Termination of the session is indicated by an IN REMOTE REPT
output message followed immediately by the IN REMOTE STOPPED output message.
PROCEDURE

IN:REMOTE:START;
Purpose
Requests that the Administrative Workstation (AW) be put in the

SCANS-2. Software updates must begin to arrive at the Administrative
Workstation within 24 hours. Responsive messages are printed when they are
initially received or when this time limit is reached.

password will be required.
3. Using the SCANS menu-driven system, request a load of the software update(s).
Refer to the SCANS User’s Guide and SCANS Training Manual supplied with
