Appendix A. Updating TA 850 Firmware using XMODEM

The TA 850 supports firmware updating using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit’s CRAFT port. XMO- DEM is found in the VT 100 terminal emulation application in the ADTRAN Utilities package and in most PC VT 100 communications software packages.

Make certain that the communications software package being used has flow control turned off.

Before beginning this procedure, you must obtain the appropriate update file from ADTRAN Technical Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726).

An XMODEM download can be initiated by enabling the appropriate dip switch or by using the console menus. The following materials are required.

VT 100 terminal or PC with VT 100 terminal emulation software

XMODEM software

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically grounded.

Updating Firmware via the Dip Switch

Perform the Steps Below in the Order Listed

1.Using a VT 100 terminal emulation communication software package which contains XMO- DEM protocol support, log in to TA 850. Set the transmit rate of the emulation software to 9600 baud.
