Appendix C

Software Download

Software download is a means by which the executable software saved in the NETServer’s flash memory is reprogrammed. This can be performed through a direct connection to a PC or through the NETServer Manager windows software.

Note that the software download process does not erase your configuration data. The NETServer’s Global and Network Configuration won’t be affected, nor will your Location or User Tables. Software download only effects that part of the Flash ROM that contains NETServer’s operating code.

Why Perform an SDL (Software Download)?

There are two main reasons to perform a software download.

∙A critical failure is detected in flash memory.

∙Each time the NETServer is powered on, it performs various self-diagnostic tests. One of these checks flash memory.

An updated version of the NETServer firmware is available.

SDL Using a Direct Connection to a PC

The NETServer’s firmware can be downloaded directly to the NETServer by connecting a PC to the CONSOLE port on the back of the unit and running the appropriate software provided on disk. The same null modem cable that was used to initialize the Command Line Software (See the Quick Start Guide) can also be used for updating the flash memory.
