The Download Code menu option on the HotWire DSLAM gives you the ability to upgrade your software with a new version of code and then apply this code to your system.
NOTE:
Before attempting a download, verify that you can ping or telnet to the TFTP server. If you can not, do not proceed with the download. Also, make certain that the files that you are going to download from exist in the system.
New firmware releases are typically applied to either the MCC or DSL cards in your system. When a software upgrade affects both the MCC and the DSL cards, you must download and apply a new version of code into each of the DSL cards before you download and apply a new version of code into the MCC.
Download Code
From the MCC or DSL Configuration Main Menu, select Configuration → Card Status → Download Code
Scenario One: Fully Operational System
Enter the path and image file name and the TFTP Server IP address and select yes to begin the file transfer. When you are downloading the new firmware, this does not impact service or the operation of the system. Depending on the network traffic, this download may take a minimum of 10 minutes. You may apply the newly acquired firmware load at any time following the successful transfer.
CAUTION:
When the download is completed, if you elect to apply the code, service will be disrupted while the card restarts and the new code is installed.
