The Download Code menu option on the HotWire DSLAM gives you the ability to
upgrade your software with a new version of code and then apply this code to
your system.
NOTE:
Before attempting a download, verify that you can ping or telnet to the TFTP
server. If you can not, do not proceed with the download. Also, make certain
that the files that you are going to download from exist in the system.
New firmware releases are typically applied to either the MCC or DSL cards in
your system. When a software upgrade affects both the MCC and the DSL cards,
you must download and apply a new version of code into each of the DSL cards
before you download and apply a new version of code into the MCC.
Download Code
From the MCC or DSL Configuration Main Menu, select Configuration → Card
Status
→ Download Code (A-A-G) . This selection brings you to the Download
submenu. Select Download Code.
Scenario One: Fully Operational System
Enter the path and image file name and the TFTP Server IP address and select
yes to begin the file transfer. When you are downloading the new firmware, this
does not impact service or the operation of the system. Depending on the
network traffic, this download may take a minimum of 10 minutes. You may apply
the newly acquired firmware load at any time following the successful transfer.
CAUTION:
When the download is completed, if you elect to apply the code, service
will be disrupted while the card restarts and the new code is installed.
