Coldloading 650 Series Operating Software

Introduction

There are three methods for downloading new operating software to your Vanguard

 

650 Series: using a local coldload, via a TFTP server, or using the Software Loader

 

on the Vanguide 5.1 CD-ROM.

 

 

 

When loading a new release of 650 operating software, always load the Base

 

Software first and then the Option Software Image.

If you intend to download both base software and an optional image, we recommend

that you download your Base software first.

 

 

 

Ensure that the software you wish to download resides on the software host that you

 

are using, and obtain the filename. Connect the software host’s modem serial port

 

directly to the 650 node data port 2.
