The VERBOSE parameter can be used when you are downloading a file
switch to switch to monitor the progress of the download process. The
parameter is viable only when teamed with the REMOTESWITCH
parameter.
Before downloading files, note the following:
❑ When you download a new version of the AT-S63 management
software image onto a switch, be sure to specify the DESTFILE
filename as “ATS63.IMG”. Do not give the image file any other
name.
❑ When you download a new configuration file onto a switch, the
file is stored in the switch’s file system, but it is not automatically
assigned as the active boot file. To assign a newly downloaded
configuration file as the active file, see “SET CONFIG” on page 150.
❑ If you are downloading files switch-to-switch using the
REMOTESWITCH method, you must always use the SHOW
REMOTELIST command first. This allows you to view the switch
numbers and also allows the management software to determine
which switches are in the enhanced stack.
❑ In networks consisting of several AT-9400 Series switches, you can
simplify an upgrade procedure by first upgrading a master switch
to the latest software version via a local or remote management
session and then downloading the new software switch-to-switch
from the master switch to the slave switches.
❑ You cannot download the AT-S63 software image onto any other
type of switch than an AT-9400 Series switch.
❑ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new
AT-S63 software image is installed. To return a switch to its default
configuration settings, refer to “RESTART SWITCH” on page 46.
❑ The AT-S63 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
For an Xmodem download, note the following:
❑ Xmodem can download a file only onto the switch on which you
started the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem
to download a file onto a switch accessed through enhanced
stacking.
❑ The new AT-S63 image file must be stored on the computer or
terminal connected to the serial terminal port on the switch.
