TFTP FIRMWARE UPDATING
The ATLAS product supports updating of firmware to any module
via the 10BaseT port using TFTP from a network server. The network
server must be capable of supporting TFTP server requests from the
TFTP Client within ATLAS.
Update Firmware Using TFTP
1. Obtain the appropriate update file for the particular module from ADTRAN
Technical Support. For more information on how to contact ADTRAN
Technical Support, refer to “Warranty and Technical Support Information” on
page C-1.
2. Copy the update file provided by ADTRAN to a network server that supports
TFTP server requests. Please record the IP address of the server and full path
location of the update file to be downloaded by the ATLAS TFTP client.
3. Log in to ATLAS using a Telnet program.
A Level 2 password is required for performing updates of any modules within AT-
LAS. Please consult the ATLAS administrator if this password is not known.
4. Select the
System Utility
menu.
5. Select the
Update Firmware
option to gain access to the
Update Firmware
menu
interface for performing updates. This menu is shown in Figure 8-2.

Module Slot
field.

indicate the type of modules to update in the ATLAS. Select the appropriate
module type for the particular update (see Figure 8-2 on page 8-5).
