ZyXEL Communications 480 manual Firmware Update, Backup, Restore and Upload 14-7

Prestige 480 Dual BRI ISDN Router

Step 5. Go to SMT menu 24.6. Note that you must remain in this menu until file transfer is complete.

Step 6. Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation. The remote file name on the Prestige is “rom-spt”.

Step 7. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “put” to transfer from the workstation to the Prestige, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

14.3 Firmware Update

Option 7 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance takes you to Menu 24.7 – System Maintenance – Firmware Update which allows you to upgrade the firmware or default configuration. You can upgrade the firmware either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through the RS -232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Updating the firmware via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.

Note that this function erases the old data before installing the new one; please do not attempt to update unless you have the new firmware at hand. There are 2 components in the system: the router firmware and the configuration file, as shown next.
