AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide
243
The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s
application block, which is the portion of flash memory reserved for the
active AT-S62 image. This option downloads a new version of the AT-S62
image file into the application block, making it the active image file on
the switch.
Note
The APPBLOCK option should only be used when downloading a
new AT-S62 image file, and not with any other file type.
Before downloading a file onto a switch using Xmodem, note the
following:
❑An Xmodem download is possible only from a local management
session on a switch.
❑Xmodem can download a file only onto the switch where you
started the local management session. It cannot download a file
through enhanced stacking.
❑The file to download must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.
❑The transfer protocol can be Xmodem or 1K Xmodem.
❑When downloading a new configuration file, the switch does not
automatically designate the file as its active boot configuration
file. To designate a configuration file as the active boot file, refer
to SET CONFIG on page 232.
❑The AT-S62 software image is supported only on AT-8500 Series
switches.
❑The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new
AT-S62 software image is installed.
❑The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
❑If you download a new AT-S62 image file and enter a filename for
the DESTFILE parameter instead of APPBLOCK, the file is stored in
the switch’s file system. To copy an image file from the file system
to the switch’s application block, refer to LOAD METHOD=LOCAL
on page 236.
