PCMCIA
Allied Telesyn offers Omega management software for both the AT-4016
and the AT-TS95TR on, respectively, either a firmware PCMCIA card, the
AT-S7 (see Figure 7), or a Firmware Cassette the AT-S9.
PCMCIA Port. AT-4016 agent software is easy to upgrade through the
PCMCIA port.
The PCMCIA card is a read-only interface used for restoring or updating
software. If a PCMCIA card is installed before a reset or power-up
sequence, the AT-4016TR boots from the PCMCIA card. Otherwise, it
boots from internal Flash RAM.
To update software through the PCMCIA port:
1.
Insert the PCMCIA card into the PCMCIA port. This port is located on
the front panel of the AT-4016 and identified as such.
2.
Reset the unit with either the reset button located on the front panel or
the reset option in Omega management software.
3.
When the LEDs return to normal operation, the update is complete.
During this process the red Alarm LED will display while the LEDs will
cycle through the Network Load LED.
4.
Remove the PCMCIA card.
5.
Reset the unit again. This will allow the system to boot from flash memory.
The new firmware will be copied to the switching system’s onboard
nonvolatile flash memory.
