Upgrading System Software

7. Operation and Maintenance

If you need to upgrade the FrameSaver unit’s program code, you need to download the software into the Alternate Release directory. Upgrades can be performed through the:

Network using a Management PVC, or

COM port, if Port Use is set to Net Link (see Table 4-25, Communication Port Options)

Procedure

To download software:

1.Initiate an FTP session to the device that you are upgrading.

2.Type bin to enter binary transfer mode.

3.Type hash to enter hash mode if you want to monitor the progress of the upgrade, provided this function is supported by your equipment.

4.Type cd system to change to the system directory.

5.Perform a put of Rxxxxxx.ocd (xxxxxx being the software release number) to the nam.ocd file to start the upgrade.

If the message displayed is . . .	Then . . .

nam.ocd: File Transfer Complete	The download was successful. The file is
	loaded into system memory.

nam.ocd: File Transfer Failed –	The file is not valid for this FrameSaver unit.
Invalid file	A different Rxxxxxx.ocd file will need to be
	A different Rxxxxxx.ocd file will need to be
	downloaded. Repeat the step or end the FTP
	session.

NOTE:

During the download, a series of hash marks (#) appear. When the hash marks stop appearing, there is a pause of about 30 seconds before the nam.ocd: File Transfer Complete message appears. Please be patient. Do not exit from FTP at this time.
