New firmware with FirmSafe
The software for the devices of ELSA is constantly being updated. We have fitted the
units with a flash ROM which makes child's play of updating the operating software so
that you can enjoy the benefits of new features and functions. No need to change the
EPROM, no need to open up the case: simply load the new release and you're away.
This is how FirmSafe works
FirmSafe makes the installation of the new software safe: The current firmware is not
simply overwritten but saved additionally in the device as a second firmware.
Only one of the firmware versions stored in the device can be active at any one time.
When new firmware is loaded the inactive firmware is overwritten. You can decide
which firmware version you want to activate after the upload:
࡯
'Immediate': The first option is to load the new firmware and activate it
immediately. The following situations can result:
– The new firmware is successfully loaded and then operates as desired.
Everything is then in order.
TCP-IP IP-Rt., IP-RIP, ICMP and ARP outputs
Time Displays the system time in front of the actual trace output

This combination
command ... brings up the following display for the trace:
This code ... ... in combination with the trace causes the following:
trace Displays all protocols that can generate outputs during the configuration,
and the status of each output (ON or OFF)
trace + all Switches on all trace outputs
trace + all - icmp Switches on all trace outputs with the exception of the ICMP protocol
trace - time Switches off the system time output before the actual trace output.
