Verilink SCC 2130 User Manual

Due to increases in file size, the executable is distributed in
compressed form since version 1.81 of SCC firmware. After the
code has been transferred to the SCC using FTP, it must be
decompressed. Earlier versions of SCC code do not have the needed
routines to do this decompression. Therefore, when upgrading
from a version below 1.8x to 1.8x or higher, one must first
download a new compile of SCC version 1.69C to flashbank A.
This will enable the decompression of the new code.

Two procedures are documented below. The first is used to get
version 1.69C into flashbank A in order to allow subsequent
download of compressed code. This need be done only if the
firmware currently in flashbank A is a release prior to version 1.81
(other than 1.69C). The second is a general procedure used to
download new code to flashbank B.

Downloading

Version 1.69C to

Flashbank A

Use this procedure only if the firmware currently installed in the
SCC 2130 is any revision earlier than 1.81, except 1.69C.

The top line of the SCC 2130 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.

If the SCC 2130 already has version 1.81 or newer or version 1.69C,
skip to the section labeled “
