Upgrading System and Router Software via TFTP
1. Login to the Commpact T1, using a terminal emulation program or via Telnet.
2. Enter:
load [slot] tftp {ip-addr} "file-name"
where [slot] = the slot number of a router card. If no slot number is listed, the
file is loaded to the Controller.
{ip-addr} = the IP address of the host device holding the downloadable
software
"
file-name
"
= the software file name, including path, if needed. Enclosed in
quotes. Example: "c:\unit_sw\tdm4_0_z_all.mgm".
This example loads tdm4_0_z_all.mgm via tftp from the C drive and unit_sw
subdirectory. The path information must be provided.
The tftp utility provideds with the downloadble software must also be running,
in the same directory as the software file.
3. After download, the program will be loaded from RAM into the flash memory
and the system will automatically restart. Wait until the boot menu prompt is
displayed before powering down the unit. If the download fails and no prompt
is seen after a full minute, cycle power and repeat the process.
4. Re-establish communication with the CLI using a terminal emulation program
or Telnet. Check all configurations and system operation.
