Procedures AccessBuilder 4000 Software Image Download Procedure
This procedure is used to copy a new version of AccessBuilder system
software image from the local PC into the flash memory of a remote
AccessBuilder without affecting the existing configuration. Note that
the server is automatically reset upon successful completion of the
image download.
CAUTION: Whenever an image or configuration file download
transfer occurs, the remote AccessBuilder suspends any user session in
progress and automatically resets upon completion, thus disconnecting
any active users. For this reason, maintenance downloads should be
announced to the system users well in advance of the event, and
scheduled at a time that minimizes network disruption.
Downloading the software through the console port will take
approximately 25 minutes to perform.
1From the local PC running either the TABM application or the Windows
terminal emulator, dial into the modem connected to the
AccessBuilder’s console port.
