Chapter 8. Updating Firmware

Figure 8-2. Update Firmware Menu Interface

Only Modules which are upgradable display as choices for the Module Type field when updating all modules of a type in the ATLAS.

9.Select TFTP for the Transfer Method. The ATLAS menu now displays two additional fields which must be entered for TFTP transfers.

10.In the field TFTP Server IP Address, enter the IP address of the network server that was recorded in Step 2. ATLAS uses this field to locate the network server on which the update file resides.

11.In the field TFTP Server Filename, enter the full path name and file name of the update file that was recorded in Step 2.

12.In the Restart Schedule field, select the desired time at which the module will perform a restart after completing the update process. For the system controller, you can select either Restart Immediately After Update or Restart at Specified Date and Time. The Restart Immediately After Update option informs ATLAS to automatically restart the module immediately after the update process has 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 they are unable to maintain normal operation during the update process.

13.If the Restart at Specified Date and Time option is selected in the Restart Schedule field, the Restart Date and Time field is provided to allow entering a date and time at which the restart of the module will occur.

14.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 contents of the Current Update Status field 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.
