Updating the AT-S63 Management Software
If you need to upgrade the management software on the switch, perform
the instructions in this section. If the switch already has the correct version
of the management software, go to the next section.
These instructions use Xmodem to transfer the new management software
to the switch. If you prefer, you can download the file using TFTP. For
instructions, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software User’s Guides.
Caution
This procedure causes the switch to reset. The switch will not
forward traffic during the reset. If the unit is connected to a live
network, some network traffic will be lost.
This procedure assumes that you established a local management
session with the switch, as explained in the previous sections, and that
you have obtained the necessary management software from the Allied
Telesis web site and stored it on your workstation. For instructions on how
to obtain new management software, refer to “Obtaining Management
Software Updates” on page 12.
To load new management software on the switch, perform the following
procedure:
1. Enter this command at the command prompt:
load method=xmodem destfile=appblock
2. At the confirmation prompt, enter “Y” for yes to continue with the
procedure or “N” for no to cancel the procedure.
This prompt is displayed;
Use Hyper Terminal’s Transfer/Send file option to
select Filename & Protocol
Note: Please select ‘1K Xmodem’ protocol for faster
download...
3. Use your Xmodem utility on your workstation to begin the file transfer.
After receiving the file, the switch writes it to flash memory and then
resets. The entire file transfer takes about seven minutes at 115200
bpi on the Terminal port.
