Chapter 10. Updating Firmware

TFTP FIRMWARE UPDATES

ATLAS 810PLUS supports firmware updates to any module via the 10BaseT Ethernet port using TFTP from a network server. The network server must be capable of supporting TFTP Server requests from the TFTP client within ATLAS 810PLUS.

Updating Firmware using TFTP

Before beginning this procedure,

you must have a level 2 password to perform updates of any modules within ATLAS. Please consult the ATLAS administrator if this pass- word is not known.

you must obtain the appropriate update file for the particular module from ADTRAN Technical Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726).

you must copy the update file provided by ADTRAN to a network serv- er that supports TFTP Server requests. Record both the IP address of the server and the full path location of the update file to be downloaded.
