Updating Your System Software 11

Loading System Before loading the system software on the LMM+, verify that the host Software on computer, which has a copy of the updated system software, is connected

the LMM+ to the LANplex 6000 system.

You can load the system software into flash memory while the system is operating. You do not need to bring the system down. After the flash install is completed, a quick reboot puts the newly loaded software to use.

If you are loading software from a PC host, the ftp server software must be running on the PC before you begin this procedure.

Loading 8.0.2 software into flash memory takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network load.

To load the new software:

1From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:

system softwareUpdate

You are prompted for the Host IP address, Install file name, User name, and Password. The current default values are displayed in brackets [ ]. The Password field does not display what you enter.

2Next to Host IP address, enter the IP address of the host computer (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 file name.

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

/c:\lp6000R\lp6000R

4Next to User name, enter your user name.

5Next to Password, enter your password. You must enter a value for this field.
