Loading System Software on the LMM+ 7

Loading 8.2.3 software into flash memory takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network load.

To load the new software:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system softwareUpdate

The system prompts you for the Host IP address, Install filename, User name, and Password. Press Return or Enter to accept the default values, which are shown in brackets. The Password field does not display what you enter.

2Next to Host IP address, enter the IP address of the host machine (such as a Sun workstation or PC) from which you are installing the software.

In the example in step 5, the IP address of the host is 192.9.200.96

3Next to Install file pathname, enter the complete path and filename.

For MS-DOS system syntax, you must precede the full path with a slash ( / ). For example, if you are loading software from an MS-DOS host, enter the following command at the Install file pathname prompt:

/c:\3com\lp6000R\image\lp6000R

4Next to User name, enter your user name.

5Next to Password, enter your password. You must enter a value for this field, although the field does not display what you enter.

This software installation sample shows the prompts on a UNIX host:

Host IP address [192.9.200.14]: 192.9.200.96

Install file pathname [/usr/lp6000R/lp6000R]:

User name: ronnyk
