Use FMprog version 6 and later. Otherwise, the Coral will not initialize.
The upgrade of the generic feature software involves three main steps:
1.
Installing the FMprog-Utility (version 6 and later)
2. Extracting the new Coral generic feature software file into the PC hard disk
3. Programming the new generic software upgrade to the IMC8/IMC16 card
The FMprog-utility can be used to backup the Coral software into PCMCIA cards. The
backup file is in a binary format and includes all the software components of the
specific Coral system from which it was copied (i.e. the Coral generic software version,
the switch authorization and the database). The manufacturer highly recommends to
keep a copy of the current files located at each customer site. Copies should be made
per customer site since each site has its unique set of software configuration, i.e. its
main software version, switch authorization and database, as well as specific Software
Authorization Unit (SAU) information. Should the need arise to reinstate or copy
system’s files, copies of all system’s files exist and are available for use via the
FMprog-Utility.
Use the FMprog-Utility to:
„
Manage your new database versions
„
Load Coral Generic Version, Authorization and Database information on to
flash memory cards
„
Extract Version, Authorization and Database information from source files
