2. If need be, copy the file containing the new SCC firmware to a

known location (path) on the computer running the FTP server
application.

3. Document the CSU configuration of the CSU portion of the SCC

card being upgraded.

Overview

SCC firmware can be upgraded by using FTP to transfer the new
executable files into the card. The procedure will vary according to
what version is currently installed and what new code version is to
be used.

In most cases it is advisable to download new versions of SCC code
to flashbank B only, leaving the original code as shipped in
flashbank A. In this way the user is always able to fall back to the
known code revision if a problem is noted with the upgrade.

Upgrading

Flashbank B

Use this procedure to upgrade flashbank B.

The top line of the SCC 2120 Main Menu indicates which version of
firmware is currently running and the second line indicates which
flashbank the current firmware was loaded from. To determine
which version of firmware is in the other flashbank, use the boot
option on the Node Administration Menu and select that
flashbank..

You will need to

know

The IP address of the FTP server.

The absolute path to the directory containing the Verilink SCC
upgrade files.

The password, if required, for accessing the FTP server.

NOTE: If you received the Verilink SCC files in a PKZIPped format,

first extract them using PKUNZIP. Two files may be found,

FLASH.A and FLASH.B. For this procedure only FLASH.B is

required.

Step by Step

1. Using either direct connection to the Craft port, or Telnet,

open a Craft session to the SCC card to be upgraded.

2. Use the “O” command to select the Node Administration

Menu.

3. Type “B” to reboot.

NOTE: The boot command reboots only the SNMP and Craft

interface functions of the SCC 2120, any user data passing

through the CSU portion of the SCC 2120 will not be affected.
