Building and Using a Firmware Library

Building a Firmware Library

OpenLane allows you to maintain a firmware library from which you can download
firmware to devices in your network.

Before the Download Feature can schedule or activate firmware download to a
device, you must retrieve the firmware files from the Paradyne Web site.

Procedure

1. Go to Paradyne’s Technical Support site to obtain access to firmware files:

www.paradyne.com/tech_support

.

2. Download the appropriate firmware file or files.

If the firmware file is a .exe file, it is a self-extracting zip file. Unarchive it on a
Windows platform and, if it will reside on a Solaris platform, use FTP to move
it.

3. Move the files to the subdirectory under

/opt/pdn/OpenLane/database/firmware

(Solaris) or

C:\opt\pdn\OpenLane\database\firmware

(Windows) for the

appropriate model.

—

.OCD

files are for FrameSaver products

—

.IMG

and

.FPI

files are for DSL products

4. Map the firmware version to the firmware filename by editing the firmware.dat

file in the selected model’s directory. The syntax is:

version=filename

FrameSaver Map Example:

01.02.01=R010201.ocd

DSL Map Example:

04.00.30=pc8314.3001.img
