XL-12000S

MANAGED, HIGH-SPEED NETWORK MODEM USER GUIDE

To install a new version:

1.Ensure that image transfers are enabled on the Upgrade Software screen. The image currently not running will be the image replaced by the upgraded software.

2.Run the DOS program “tutxlutil” from the diskette provided by Tut Systems on a PC connected to the LAN to which the modems are connected (refer to page 46, “Detailed Steps for Running Tutxlutil”).

3.When a new image has been successfully received, the display will change to indicate its version, along with the notation [untried], which indicates that the modem has not yet tried to boot this image.

4.Change “Choose Image to Boot” to the new [untried] image and press <Enter> to accept the new settings.

5.Select “R” from the Main Menu and reboot the modem. When the modem restarts, the Upgrade Software screen will show that the new image is running, and the [untried] notation will be gone. Use the Upgrade Software screen once more to verify that the new image is running.

If the modem does not restart after a minute, power cycle the modem by unplugging the unit and plugging it in again. It will now boot the old image, and the new, unsuccessful image will be marked [failed to boot]. Depending on the failure, the modem may reboot itself automatically, using the old image.

To return to the Main Menu without changing any settings, press <Ctrl-X>.
