A.03 TO A.04 FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Introduction
Until now, the Total Access 600R has been running firmware version A.03.xx. Recently, A.04.xx has been
released. The development of A.04.xx code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total Access
product line, as it allows all Total Access family members to share the same base code. This means that
features and fixes are more easily implemented and are propagated across the product line.
The two possible A.03 to A.04 upgrade paths are described in this DLP.
Prerequisite Procedures
Obtain the A.04 firmware and the A.03.9X (Transition Build) firmware from the ADTRAN website
(http://www.ADTRAN.com).
The choice of upgrade path will determine whether the unit's configuration is saved.
Since the A.03 and A.04 firmware loads are significantly different, the text configuration
files for the two revisions are also different. It is recommended that the customer save a
text configuration file for both the A.03 revision (prior to the upgrade) and for the A.04
revision (after completion of the upgrade). Refer to DLP-009 and DLP-011 for further
instructions on how to save the configuration.
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
