Automatic Firmware

Download

New releases may be available for the 3821Plus modem. The latest 3821Plus firmware is avaiable at no charge from the Automatic Firmware Download Center. Refer to page A in the front of this document for contact information.

To download the firmware, your modem must be configured for dialing. Save your modem's current configuration to the Customer 1 or Customer 2 memory area, and load the Async Dial factory template. (See Configure Branch, page 3-15,for information about saving and changing configuration options.)

Using your 3821Plus modem, dial the Automatic Firmware Download Center at 1-727-530-7026. You may use any dialing technique (SDCP Dial, AT command, or V.25bis Call Request).

If you have a DTE (a terminal or PC) attached to your modem, informational messages are displayed on it when the modem is connected. These show the amount of time the download will take.

However, a DTE is not required. The download begins without any operator action. When the download begins, the SDCP displays download status messages with the data bank number, current block being loaded, and the total number of blocks. There are two data banks.

If the modem connects at 14,400 bps, the download takes about 10 minutes. When the download is complete, the modem resets itself and displays a normal status message (such as Idle:33.6).

Reload your configuration options from the Customer 1 or Customer 2 memory area that you saved them to.

Download Failure

If the download is interrupted, the modem is left in a state in which it can only be used to make or receive a call for a download.

If an interruption occurs and your modem is left in this state, repeat the download process by directing the modem to dial the Automatic Firmware Download Center. (See Call Setup Branch, for information about dialing a number using the SDCP.) If you are unable to complete the download, your service representative for assistance.
