completed. The Restart at Specified Date and Time option allows you to select
a date and time at which the ATLAS will automatically restart the module
after the update process has completed. For modules which reside in
expansion slots, the Restart at Specified Date and Time option is not available
since the modules are unable to maintain normal operation during the update
process.
10. If you select the Restart at Specified Date and Time option in the Restart
Schedule field, the Restart Date and Time field displays to allow entering a
date and time at which the restart of the module will occur.
11. The Current Update Status field displayed next is a read-only field indicating
the progress of the current firmware update or any errors encountered during
the download process. This field displays
Idle if no firmware update is
currently in progress. At the end of an update, the Current Update Status
field’s contents are copied into the Previous Update Status field, which is
displayed next. If All Modules of a Type is selected for the Module Slot field, the
Current Update Status field becomes a menu selection which allows the
firmware update status of all the modules to display.
12. The Previous Update Status field indicates the results of the last firmware
update for the particular slot chosen. If a firmware update has not been
attempted for the particular slot, the Previous Update Status will display:
Has
not been attempted .
13. After completing the configuration of all the above parameters, select Begin
Firmware Update to start the update process. This field requires user
confirmation and will set up the module to receive the XMODEM upload
from the VT-100 terminal emulation software.
14. When ATLAS is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will
clear and display Awaiting XMODEM Upload…… <CTRL-X> to Cancel. If
this does not appear, please review the steps above for possible configuration
errors.
15. In the terminal emulation software, begin an XMODEM upload by using the
appropriate command sequence. Please refer to terminal emulation software
documentation for help. When specifying the filename, make sure the file
transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update will not
complete successfully.
16. Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu
interface, the VT-100 menus of ATLAS will be inoperable from the Chain In
port. You can cancel the update at any point in time within the terminal
emulation software. Please consult the documentation provided by the
terminal emulation software for instructions.
17. When the update process has completed successfully, the menu screen will
display Idle in the Current Update Status field and Module Update Complete in
the Previous Update Status field. In the event an error occurred during the
update process, the Previous Update Status field will display the appropriate
error message.
18. If the update of the module was successful, the module will restart either
immediately and resume operation or restart at the specified time and day of
the week, depending on your selection.
19. To update additional modules, go to Step 6 and select the appropriate slot.
