Installing Software Releases

This section presents procedures for installing new software releases into the RIC-155 units.

RIC-155 stores two software versions, each in one of two partitions of its flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded into the RAM on power-up. The passive software is kept for backup purposes. If the active software gets corrupted, you can swap it with the backup. By default, RIC-155 is delivered with active software only.

New software releases are distributed on diskettes as an *.img file, which is downloaded to the local RIC-155 using the TFTP or XMODEM protocol. When starting a download, RIC-155 erases the current backup and places the new software in the backup partition. When downloading is complete, the unit checks the integrity of the new software file. If it is correct, the backup and active files are swapped. The new software release becomes active and the former active software becomes the backup. If a failure occurs during downloading, the new version is erased. In this case, only one version is left stored in the flash memory.

Configuration files can be uploaded for storage and backup.

Installing a New Software Release via TFTP

To install a new software release via TFTP:

1.Follow the path: Main menu> File Utilities > SW & File Transfer > Via TFTP. The Via TFTP menu appears.

2.From the Via TFTP menu, perform the following steps:

Select TFTP File Name and enter the name of the software file (for example, ric155.img).

Select TFTP IP Server and enter the IP address of the TFTP server. 3. From the Via TFTP menu, select TFTP Command.
