Section 5 DLP-8 Total Access 600 Series System Manual

Updating Firmware via the Console Menus

Perform the steps below in the order listed.

1.Connect to the Total Access 6XX using CRAFT (RJ-48) interface. Selecting a higher baud rate connection makes the file transfer process faster. Verify that the baud rate setting on the Total Access 6XX matches the VT100 emulation software COM port settings.

If you are not already connected to the CRAFT interface (either with a VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the procedure in DLP-1, Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the CRAFT Port. Connecting to the CRAFT interface limits the upgrade procedure to XMODEM only.

2.Log in to the unit.

3.Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select the UPGRADE FIRMWARE menu; press <Enter>.

4.Go to the TRANSFER METHOD menu and select XMODEM.

Total Access 6XX XMODEM transfers are compatible with both XMODEM and

1K XMODEM on the VT100 terminal system. Selecting 1K XMODEM on your terminal session will make the configuration transfer faster.

5.Select START TRANSFER to start the update process. Enter Y to confirm the upgrade.

6.From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command sequence. If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help.

Also, when specifying the filename, ensure that the file transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN, otherwise, the update will not complete successfully. This may take several minutes.

Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of the Total Access 6XX will be inoperable from the CRAFT interface. You can cancel the update at any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the documentation provided by the terminal emulation software to determine how to do this.)

7.When the update process has successfully completed, the following messages will display:

Verifying downloaded FLASH image...

Erasing FLASH...

Programming FLASH...

FLASH programmed successfully.

The Total Access 6XX will restart immediately and the user may then log back into the system.

Alternately, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. By utilizing the ETHERNET port, the

Total Access 6XX may be quickly upgraded using TFTP, provided there is a TFTP server on the local network. The Total Access 6XX ships with ADTRAN Utilities software, which includes a TFTP server. See DLP-7, Updating the Firmware using TFTP, for more details.
