ATLAS 550 System Manual - Adtran

Section 5 DLP-7 ATLAS 550 System Manual
Perform the following steps in the order listed.
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using the back panel’s RJ-48 ADMIN interface or the front panel’s DB-9
CRAFT interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s ADMIN or CRAFT interface (either with a VT100
compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the procedure in DLP-1,
Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the ADMIN or CRAFT Port. Connecting to the ADMIN or
CRAFT interface limits the upgrade procedure to XMODEM only.
2. Log in to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550 for details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select the UPDATE FIRMWARE menu; press .
4. Select the MODULE SLOT menu and press .
Select the appropriate module slot to update. Select SLOT 0 to update the system controller.
Selecting ALL MODULES OF A TYPE and SYS CTRL will force a controller reboot during the
update.
5. Go to the TRANSFER METHOD menu and select XMODEM.
6. From the RESTART SCHEDULE menu, select the time for the module to perform a restart after
completing the update process.
RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER UPDATE restarts the system immediately after the update is complete.
RESTART AT SPECIFIED DATE AND TIME allows you to select when the updated system will restart. If
you select this option, a new field called RESTART DATE AND TIME displays below the current field.
To use that option, enter the time in 24-hour format (such as 23:00:00 for 11:00 pm). Enter the date in
mm-dd-yyyy format (for example, 09-30-2000).
7. View CURRENT UPDATE STATUS to verify the progress of the current firmware update or to identify any
errors encountered during the download.
8. Select BEGIN FIRMWARE UPDATE to start the update. Enter Y to confirm the transfer and set up the
module to receive the XMODEM upload.
When the ATLAS 550 is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will clear and
display Awaiting XMODEM Upload.... twice to Cancel. If this does not appear, please
review the steps above for possible configuration errors.
9. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command
sequence. This may take several minutes.
If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help. Also, when specifying
the filename, ensure that the file transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update
will not complete successfully.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred inband through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the ATLAS 550 will be inoperable from the ADMIN or CRAFT interfaces. You can cancel the update at
any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the documentation provided by the
terminal emulation software to determine how to do this).
