Upgrading System Software
FTP can be used to retrieve information that can be useful to Carrier Access in debugging problems that
have been experienced on the system, or for uploading new system software releases to the
BROAD way
system. Remember that all filenames are case sensitive in the FTP protocol.
Upgrading System Software
Periodically, Carrier Access releases new versions of the software that operates the BROAD way
system. When you receive the software, you must FTP the system files to the BROAD way NSP101
which implies that you must have an IP address configured for the Ethernet interface of the system (see
Assigning an IP Address to the BROADway System on page 3-3). When FTPing files to the BROAD way
system, you are required to enter a username and password with either Configuration or Administrator
privileges.
For specific details on how to upgrade the system software using FTP, refer to the official Release Notes
for that software release. The following procedure might be superseded by the system Release Notes.
Upgrading system software tasks can only be performed through the TL1 command line interface.
To upgrade the system software to release 3.08 from an earlier software release, follow these
instructions:
1. Verify the release of software currently running on your BROAD way system by executing the
following TL1 command:
rtrv-sw-ver::nsp:1234::all;
Both NSP101 modules should be running the same version of BROAD way system code:
NSP1> rtrv-sw-ver::nsp:1234::all;

2. Copy the new software release to the PC from which you will be running the FTP upload
session. For this example, we assume the file, bw308.zip , has been copied to the C:\TEMP
folder.
