Upgrading System Software

FTP can be used to retrieve information that can be useful to Carrier Access in debugging problems that have been experienced on the system, or for uploading new system software releases to the BROADway system. Remember that all filenames are case sensitive in the FTP protocol.

Upgrading System Software

Periodically, Carrier Access releases new versions of the software that operates the BROADway system. When you receive the software, you must FTP the system files to the BROADway NSP101 which implies that you must have an IP address configured for the Ethernet interface of the system (see Assigning an IP Address to the BROADway System on page 3-3). When FTPing files to the BROADway system, you are required to enter a username and password with either Configuration or Administrator privileges.

For specific details on how to upgrade the system software using FTP, refer to the official Release Notes for that software release. The following procedure might be superseded by the system Release Notes.

Upgrading system software tasks can only be performed through the TL1 command line interface.

To upgrade the system software to release 3.08 from an earlier software release, follow these instructions:

1.Verify the release of software currently running on your BROADway system by executing the following TL1 command:

rtrv-sw-ver::nsp:1234::all;

Both NSP101 modules should be running the same version of BROADway system code:

NSP1> rtrv-sw-ver::nsp:1234::all;

NSP-1,

Working NSP BROADway SW Version: 3.04

Protection NSP BROADway SW Version: 3.04

2.Copy the new software release to the PC from which you will be running the FTP upload session. For this example, we assume the file, bw308.zip, has been copied to the C:\TEMP folder.
