Paradyne 6800 manual Download Device Firmware Results Form, Service Class

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

NOTE

The 6800 Series NMS allows you to cancel a transaction by either clicking on the cancel function key box or pressing the F8 function key. Do not cancel a download transaction unless absolutely necessary. The download algorithm involves many states that erase and move the executable firmware memory. Canceling a download may leave the modem in the BAP (Basic Application Program) mode, which is the minimum operating mode of the modem. You must redo the download to take a modem out of BAP mode.

The input form that appears when 3900 dc download is specified contains the following fields:

Device

Enter the address of the extended tributary device to which this command will be sent.

Link participation

Enter the type of diagnostic channel clone to remote download to be performed. Valid entries are all and partial. Selecting all allows the download to be performed when all of the Poll List Active link-attached remote modems are participating in the download process. Selecting partial allows the download even if there are non-participating modems in the Active Poll List. Selecting partial runs the risk of having modems with different firmware versions in different tributaries being on the same line. A confirm message will display asking you to continue or cancel.

Since diagnostic channel firmware download depends on the active poll list, the accuracy of the active poll list is critical to the success of the download. Another confirm message will display, asking you to verify the correctness of the active poll list before executing the download.

This command supports the 3980, 3981, and 3982 modems with the same functionality as the 3800 Series modems.

The dndf command supports 3800Plus modems. This will require a different set of firmware download files (with initial P) than those provided for 3800 Series modems (with initial A).

This command also supports 392xPlus modems. This will require a different set of firmware download files (with initial M) than those provided for 391x modems (with initial G).
