AT-S63 Management Software Command Line User’s Guide
Section II: Advanced Operations 265
Note
The MODULE parameter only works on switches with Version 4.0.0
or later of the AT-S63 Management Software. To update a stack that
has an earlier version of the management software, remove the
switches from the stack by disconnecting the stacking cables and
update them as stand-alone units. For more information, refer to the
software release notes.
Caution
This command will disrupt network operations. The switch will reset
after writing the new AT-S63 Management Software to the
application block portion of flash memory. The entire process can
take a minute or so to complete. Do not interrupt the process by
resetting or power cycling the switch. Some network traffic may be
lost during the process.
Guidelines
Before downloading a file onto a switch using XMODEM, note the
following:
ˆ You must use a local management session to download a file using
Xmodem.
ˆ You can only use Xmodem to download a file onto the switch where
you started the local management session. You cannot use it to
download a file onto a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
ˆ You must store the file to be downloaded on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.
ˆ The transfer protocol can be Xmodem or 1K Xmodem.
ˆ The switch does not automatically designate a newly downloaded
configuration file as its active boot configuration file. To designate the
active boot file, refer to “SET CONFIG” on page 245.
ˆ The AT-S63 software image is only supported on AT-9400 Switches.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S63
software image is installed.
ˆ The AT-S63 image file also contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
ˆ If you download a new AT-S63 image file and enter a filename for the
DESTFILE parameter instead of APPBLOCK, the file is stored in the
switch’s file system. To copy an image file from the file system to the
switch’s application block, refer to “LOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on
page 254.
