TFTP FIRMWARE UPDATING

The ATLAS product supports updating of firmware to any module via the 10BaseT port using TFTP from a network server. The network server must be capable of supporting TFTP server requests from the TFTP Client within ATLAS.

Update Firmware Using TFTP

1.Obtain the appropriate update file for the particular module from ADTRAN Technical Support. For more information on how to contact ADTRAN Technical Support, refer to “Warranty and Technical Support Information” on page C-1.

2.Copy the update file provided by ADTRAN to a network server that supports TFTP server requests. Please record the IP address of the server and full path location of the update file to be downloaded by the ATLAS TFTP client.

3.Log in to ATLAS using a Telnet program.

A Level 2 password is required for performing updates of any modules within AT-

LAS. Please consult the ATLAS administrator if this password is not known.

4.Select the System Utility menu.

5.Select the Update Firmware option to gain access to the Update Firmware menu interface for performing updates. This menu is shown in Figure 8-2.

6.Move to the Module Slot field.

7.Press Enter and select the appropriate slot of the module to update.

To update multiple modules of the same type, select All Modules of a Type for the

Module Slot field.

After selecting a slot number, the Module Type field updates to reflect the type of unit selected (this field is read-only).

8.The Module Type field is normally a read-only field indicating the type of module that is currently in the selected slot. If you choose All Modules of a Type for the Module Slot field, the Module Type field becomes configurable to indicate the type of modules to update in the ATLAS. Select the appropriate module type for the particular update (see Figure 8-2 on page 8-5).
