TFTP Server Configuration
When you are downloading code to an endpoint, configure your TFTP server with the following timeout values:
HRetransmission timeout ± Value not less than 10 seconds.
HTotal transmission ± Value not less than three times the retransmission timeout.
You may also use the above values for a standard TFTP transfer.
NOTE:
Before initiating a download, verify that you can Ping 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.
Download Code
When you are attempting to download to the DSL cards, refer to Table
From the DSL Configuration Main Menu, select
Configuration → Card Status → Download Code (A-A-F).
This selection brings you to the Download submenu. Select Download Code.
NOTE:
To download code to the Service Node(s), you must use the MCC download menu. For information on this and other methods used to download firmware to the DSL and MVL cards, see Chapter 4, Configuration Options, in the Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User's Guide.
Fully Functional System: Deferred Apply
Enter the path and image file name and the TFTP Server IP address. 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.
