Downloading New
Firmware
The PathBuilder S700 MCPU module retains the operation firmware in a standby
memory bank. On power-up or reset, the code image is copied from the standby
bank to the active memory bank. The standby memory retains a copy of the
operation firmware. You can upgrade the standby memory in the following ways:
n
Via TFTP over the Ethernet interface, through a Telnet session.
n
Via the Xmodem protocol over the serial port
n
Via FTP
We recommend that you avoid using the serial port to download firmware unless
the Ethernet port is unavailable. Downloading via the serial port can take more
than 30 minutes at 9600 baud.
When you download new firmware, the standby memory is overwritten with the
new code. Once the firmware is successfully downloaded, reset the system to
bring up the new code.
