completed. The
Restart at Specified Date and Time
option allows you to select
a date and time at which the ATLAS will automatically restart the module
after the update process has completed. For modules which reside in
expansion slots, the
Restart at Specified Date and Time
option is not available
since the modules are unable to maintain normal operation during the update
process.
10. If you select the
Restart at Specified Date and Time
option in the
Restart
Schedule
field, the
Restart Date and Time
field displays to allow entering a
date and time at which the restart of the module will occur.
11. The
Current Update Status
field displayed next is a read-only field indicating
the progress of the current firmware update or any errors encountered during
the download process. This field displays
Idle if no firmware update is
currently in progress. At the end of an update, the
Current Update Status
field’s contents are copied into the
Previous Update Status
field, which is
displayed next. If
All Modules of a Type
is selected for the
Module Slot
field, the
Current Update Status
field becomes a menu selection which allows the
firmware update status of all the modules to display.
12. The
Previous Update Status
field indicates the results of the last firmware
update for the particular slot chosen. If a firmware update has not been
attempted for the particular slot, the
Previous Update Status
will display: Has
not been attempted .
13. After completing the configuration of all the above parameters, select
Begin
Firmware Update
to start the update process. This field requires user
confirmation and will set up the module to receive the XMODEM upload
from the VT-100 terminal emulation software.
14. When ATLAS is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will
clear and display Awaiting XMODEM Upload…… <CTRL-X> to Cancel. If
this does not appear, please review the steps above for possible configuration
errors.
15. In the terminal emulation software, begin an XMODEM upload by using the
appropriate command sequence. Please refer to terminal emulation software
documentation for help. When specifying the filename, make sure the file
transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update will not
complete successfully.
16. Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu
interface, the VT-100 menus of ATLAS will be inoperable from the Chain In
port. You can cancel the update at any point in time within the terminal
emulation software. Please consult the documentation provided by the
terminal emulation software for instructions.
17. When the update process has completed successfully, the menu screen will
display Idle in the
Current Update Status
field and
Module Update Complete
in
the
Previous Update Status
field. In the event an error occurred during the
update process, the
Previous Update Status
field will display the appropriate
error message.
18. If the update of the module was successful, the module will restart either
immediately and resume operation or restart at the specified time and day of
the week, depending on your selection.
19. To update additional modules, go to Step 6 and select the appropriate slot.
