completed. The Restart at Specified Date and Time option allows you to select a date and time at which the ATLAS will automatically restart the module after the update process has completed. For modules which reside in expansion slots, the Restart at Specified Date and Time option is not available since the modules are unable to maintain normal operation during the update process.

10.If you select the Restart at Specified Date and Time option in the Restart Schedule field, the Restart Date and Time field displays to allow entering a date and time at which the restart of the module will occur.

11.The Current Update Status field displayed next is a read-only field indicating the progress of the current firmware update or any errors encountered during the download process. This field displays Idle if no firmware update is currently in progress. At the end of an update, the Current Update Status field’s contents are copied into the Previous Update Status field, which is displayed next. If All Modules of a Type is selected for the Module Slot field, the Current Update Status field becomes a menu selection which allows the firmware update status of all the modules to display.

12.The Previous Update Status field indicates the results of the last firmware update for the particular slot chosen. If a firmware update has not been attempted for the particular slot, the Previous Update Status will display: Has not been attempted.

13.After completing the configuration of all the above parameters, select Begin Firmware Update to start the update process. This field requires user confirmation and will set up the module to receive the XMODEM upload from the VT-100 terminal emulation software.

14.When ATLAS is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will

clear and display Awaiting XMODEM Upload…… <CTRL-X> to Cancel. If

this does not appear, please review the steps above for possible configuration errors.

15.In the terminal emulation software, begin an XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command sequence. Please refer to terminal emulation software documentation for help. When specifying the filename, make sure the file transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update will not complete successfully.

16.Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT-100 menus of ATLAS will be inoperable from the Chain In port. You can cancel the update at any point in time within the terminal emulation software. Please consult the documentation provided by the terminal emulation software for instructions.

17.When the update process has completed successfully, the menu screen will display Idle in the Current Update Status field and Module Update Complete in the Previous Update Status field. In the event an error occurred during the update process, the Previous Update Status field will display the appropriate error message.

18.If the update of the module was successful, the module will restart either immediately and resume operation or restart at the specified time and day of the week, depending on your selection.

19.To update additional modules, go to Step 6 and select the appropriate slot.
