IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) upgrades 409
These commands are used to manage patches on the Media Card 32-port
and ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards. Patches must be downloaded from a
workstation to the Media Card 32-port and ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards
using a modem, an FTP session, or TM 3.1. Patch files are stored in Flash
memory and are loaded into DRAM memory. Once a patch is in DRAM
memory, it can be activated, deactivated, and its status can be monitored.
Perform the following tasks prior to loading a patch:
1. Check that the patch matches the platform’s CPU type.
2. Check the loadware version on the card.
3. Block the installation if there is a mismatch.
The installation of a patch is blocked if either the CPU type or the loadware
version of the IP trunk card is different than the patch. If the installation is
blocked, the reason for blocking the install is printed at the CLI. The CPU
type and loadware version are also checked during a power-up or reboot
cycle. This prevents active patches from being re-installed if the loadware
version of the IP trunk card is changed.
Table 67 "Patch commands" (page 409) lists the patch commands.

Patch commands
Command Description
]pload Loads a patch file from the file system in Flash memory into DRAM memory.
The loaded patch is inactive until it is put into service using the pins command.
When a patch is successfully loaded, the pload command returns a patch
handle number. The patch handle number is used as input to other patch
commands (pins, poos, pout, and plis).
Syntax:
pload "[patch-filename]"
where [patch-filename] is the filename or path of the patch file. If a filename
alone is provided, the patch must be in the /C:/u/patch directory. Otherwise,
the full or relative path can be provided.
If the pload command is issued without a parameter, the technician is
prompted for the patch filename and other information.
