IP Trunk3.01 (and later) upgrades 411
using a modem, an FTP session, or TM 3.1. Patch files are stored in Flash
memory and are loaded into DRAM memory. Once a patch is in DRAM
memory,it can be activated, deactivated, and its status can be monitored.
Perform the followingtasks prior to loading a patch:
1. Check that the patch matches the platform’s CPU type.
2. Check the loadware version onthe card.
3. Block the installation if there is a mismatch.
The installation of a patch is blockedif either the CPU type or the loadware
version of the IP trunk card is different than thepatch. If the installation is
blocked, the reason forblocking the install is printed at the CLI. The CPU
type and loadware version are also checked during a power-up or reboot
cycle. This prevents active patches from being re-installed if the loadware
version of the IP trunk card is changed.
Table67 "Patch commands" (page 411) lists the patch commands.

The loaded patch is inactive until it is put into service using the pins command.

commands (pins, poos, pout, and plis).

where [patch-filename] is the filename or path of the patch file. If a filename
alone is provided, the patch must be in the /C:/u/patch directory. Otherwise, the
