7.2.4Upgrading POST Diagnostic firmware

1.Set up the TFTP/Bootp server software on a workstation.

2.Connect both the TFTP/Bootp server and the ATM SmartSwitch to your Ethernet network. Make sure that the TFTP/Bootp server can be reached by the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface.

3.Connect a dumb terminal (or workstation running terminal emulation software) to the ATM SmartSwitch Terminal port.

4.Copy the ATM SmartSwitch diagnostic firmware image into the appropriate location on the TFTP/Bootp server. (In this example, the firmware is located at c:\tftpboot\images\post.ima.)

5.Set up the TFTP/Bootp server tables (or equivalent file) with:

-ATM SmartSwitch MAC address

-IP address of the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface

-path to the POST file on the TFTP/Bootp server

6.From the terminal connection, enter the reboot command.

7.When the following message appears,

“Press any key to exit to boot load prompt.”

stop the countdown by pressing any key. The boot load prompt (=>) appears on the terminal screen.
