5.4 SOFTWARE UPGRADE

The Model 3088RC is software upgradeable through the console port. Software images will be available in Intel Hex Þle format.

The software upgrade feature is available either by powering up the Model 3088RC with all DIP switches set to the OFF position, or by enter- ing the system upgrade command on the command line interface. The software upgrade takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The 3088RC will print ‘.’ to the screen while the software upgrade is in pro- cess. When the software upgrade completes, it will print a message stat- ing that it is complete and the number of errors, if any, that occurred.

Errors may occur during the software upgrade if the image is corrupt or if there is a disruption in the console port connection. The Model 3088RC will print a message to the console port if it encounters any errors. In the event of an error, the portions of the old image may have been overwrit- ten, and the unit may not be able to boot into operational mode. However, the unit may still boot into the software upgrade, so a new software image can still be loaded to bring the unit back to an operational state.

Here is the software upgrade procedure:

1.Remove all cards from the rack except for the card that you intend to upgrade.

2.Obtain the software image Hex Þle for the 3088RC.

3.Turn off the Model 3088RC.

4.Make a note of the current DIP switch settings, then set all DIP switches to the OFF position.

5.Turn on the Model 3088RC.

6.ConÞgure HyperTerminal for 19200 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON-XOFF.
