F.1.1.1 Restoring the Alternate Bank Image
1. Access the flash commands by running a serial monitor link, running a
telnet monitor, or loading ACT.
2. Use the Copy This Image to Other Bank command to update the
alternate bank image.
F.1.2 Completing the Upload
Flash holds two firmware images. A new image is stored in the main bank;
the old image is stored in the alternate. To compare the images, use the
flash command
Restart in Other Bank . Once satisfied with the new
firmware, copy it to the alternate bank; now both banks have the same
image. If the new image does not work, copy the alternate bank image into
the main bank. Both banks should be the same. Finalize the upload in this
way because:
• Alternate update is automatically used if the main bank is corrupt. This
could cause confusion if it is different.
• Some parameter storage operations require both banks to be identical.
This may fail if the banks are not identical.
To update the alternate bank image:
Use the Copy This Image to Other Bank command to update the
alternate bank image. To revert to the old version:
1. Return to the old version: Restart in Other Bank command.
2. Use the Copy This Image to Other Bank command.
