Procedure 66

Upgrading IP trunk card software through an FTP host

Step Action

1Make the latest IP trunk card software, obtained from the Nortel web

page, availableto an FTP host. This can be an FTP host on the PC.

As a special case, the FTP host can be the IP trunk card.

Alternatively,use an FTP client running on the PC to copy the IP

trunk card software ﬁle to an IP Trunk3.01 (and later) host on the

network that is available to the IP trunk card.

For example,any IP trunk card onthe same IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)

node can serve as the FTP host. The ﬁle can be copied onto the C:

drive of the IP trunk card serving as the FTP host.

2Use the swDownload command to copy the software from the PC

Card to the IP trunk card ﬂash ROM device, using the FTP client and

the FTP host on the card. The host name parameter in this command

is the IP address of the FTP host, which can be local or remote to

the IP trunk card. The user name and password are the user name

and password of the FTP host. The directory path and ﬁle name are

the directory path and ﬁle name on the FTP host. As a special case,

the FTP host can be the IP trunk card and the directory path is "/C:".
