Appendix A. Updating Total Access 600 Firmware using XMODEM

The Total Access 600 supports firmware updating using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit’s CRAFT port. XMODEM is found in the VT 100 terminal emulation application in the ADTRAN Utilities package and in most PC VT 100 communications software packages.

Make certain that the communications software package has flow control turned off.

Before beginning this procedure, you must obtain the appropriate update file from ADTRAN Technical Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726).

An XMODEM download can be initiated by enabling a forced download or by using the console menus. The follow- ing materials are required.

1.Using a VT 100 terminal emulation communication software package which contains XMO- DEM protocol support, log in to TA 600. Set the transmit rate of the emulation software to 9600 baud.

2.Unplug the unit to remove power. When power is reapplied, hold down the letter 'B' from the VT 100 terminal. Before the unit begins its boot-up sequence it will check for the letter 'B'. If present, the download menu will appear.

Both uppercase and lowercase letters will work for the Forced Download. Make certain flow control is disabled for the VT 100 interface.
