Upgrading the Field-Programmable Device Before Configuring
the T3 Mode
Before you can configure the T3 mode, you must upgrade the field-programmable device (FPD), if an
upgrade is required. An FPD upgrade requirement message appears when the hardware is installed and
it is recognized. The FPD upgrade is first available in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T and is available in
future releases of Cisco IOS Release 12.4T.
You can perform the upgrade automatically or manually. The automatic upgrade method is preferred.
See the
Field-Programmable Device Upgrades
