Upgrading System Software
If you need to upgrade the FrameSaver units program code, you must transfer the
upgrade of the nam.ocd file in the system memory directory using the put
command.
NOTE:
Upgrades can be performed through the network using a Management PVC,
or through the COM port if Port Use is set to Net L ink (see Table4-23,
Ethernet Management Options, in Chapter 4,
Configuration 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 R
xxxxxx
.ocd (
xxxxxx
being the software release number) to
the nam.ocd file to start the upgrade.

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
