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 Trans fer M eth od. 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.
