Firmware Upgrade Procedures

Firmware upgrades performed using an SCC 2020 may be divided
into two categories: upgrades of the SCC module’s own firmware,
and upgrades in which the SCC broadcasts new firmware to other
module(s) in the node.

Upgrading SCC

Modules

The two procedures below are used to upgrade the firmware of an
SCC 2020. In each case you must be running from the opposite
flashbank. To upgrade flashbank A, you must be running from
flashbank B. To upgrade flashbank B, you must be running from
flashbank A.

To use these

procedures you

will need

A file containing a new revision of SCC firmware.

An Ethernet or SLIP connection to the SCC 2020 (for
performing FTP file transfers).

a Telnet application or a direct terminal connection to the SCC
Craft interface.

An FTP server application.

NOTE: Most common FTP programs are CLIENTS, not SERVERS. Be

sure you have an FTP server program. Such programs, often

distributed as shareware, may be found on World Wide Web

download sites.

procedures you

will need to know
