Building and Using a Firmware Library

Building a Firmware Library

OpenLane allows you to maintain a firmware library from which you can download firmware to devices in your network.

Before the Download Feature can schedule or activate firmware download to a device, you must retrieve the firmware files from the Paradyne Web site.

Procedure

1.Go to Paradyne’s Technical Support site to obtain access to firmware files: www.paradyne.com/tech_support.

2.Download the appropriate firmware file or files.

If the firmware file is a .exe file, it is a self-extracting zip file. Unarchive it on a Windows platform and, if it will reside on a Solaris platform, use FTP to move it.

3.Move the files to the subdirectory under

/opt/pdn/OpenLane/database/firmware (Solaris) or C:\opt\pdn\OpenLane\database\firmware (Windows) for the appropriate model.

.OCD files are for FrameSaver products

.IMG and .FPI files are for DSL products

4.Map the firmware version to the firmware filename by editing the firmware.dat file in the selected model’s directory. The syntax is:

version=filename

FrameSaver Map Example:

01.02.01=R010201.ocd

DSL Map Example:

04.00.30=pc8314.3001.img
