»» Module Type

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Reflects the module type selected in

Module Slot

. This is normally a read-

only field; however, if you selected

All Modules of a Type

, you must select

a particular module type to update all modules of that type. The selections
only include upgradable modules.

»» Transfer Method

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Lists the two transfer methods for updating firmware: XMODEM and TFTP,
after selecting a module slot. XMODEM transfers files by connecting to a
communications program that supports XMODEM uploads to the terminal
interface. TFTP transfers files by specifying an appropriate server address
and filename:

TFTP Server
IP Address

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Configures the IP address of the TFTP Server on which the update file
resides. ATLAS uses this field to locate the network server on which the
update file resides.

TFTP Server
Filename

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Identifies the name of the update file to retrieve from the TFTP Server. Enter
the full path name and filename for the file.

»» Restart Schedule

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Indicates when to restart the updated module to invoke the new code, after
selecting a module slot. The two options include

Restart Immediately

After Update

and

Restart at Specified Date and Time

:

Restart Immediately
After Update

Automatically restarts the module immediately after the update is complete.

Restart at Specified
Date and Time

Lets you specify a date and time to automatically restart the updated mod-
ule. (When you select this option, a new field called

Restart Date and Time

displays below the current field.)

Restart Date and
Time

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Defines the date and time to restart the system.

Enter the time using a 24-hour format (i.e., 23:00:00 for 11:00 pm).

Enter the date in mm-dd-yyyy format (i.e., 10-30-1998).

Restart at Specified Date and Time

is only available for the

System Controller— not for modules residing in expansion slots,
since they are unable to maintain normal operation during the
update process.
