TMP800 Installation Guide
5.1
Installing a Firmware Package
To install a new firmware package on the local file system:
1. Start the installation tool (install) located in the OS-specific package in the /tb/bin/release/<proc-OS-
arch>/ directory.
2. The installation tool should detect all available Tmedia units in the network. If more than one
Tmedia unit is discovered, select the Tmedia unit to which the firmware package is to be installed.
3. Select option 20: Install a package.
3a. When asked for the path of the package file, enter the path of the file "tml.pkg" for a TMP800.
This is located in the package tb640-adapter.release.zip under /tb/bin.
3b. When asked, enter the directory name in which the firmware package is to be installed. The
default name will be the release number as the directory name. For example: "94-8_4".
3c. When asked for the path of the license file, enter the path where you saved the license file
(XX_TB000XXX_RELEASE_VX_XX_RCX_license.dat) that you received from the
TelcoBridges support group.
Note
Tmedia units require that a new license be installed on major upgrades only. For example: if
version 2.3.3 is installed on your Tmedia unit with a valid license, upgrading to version
2.3.14 will not require a new license.
It is important that you use the license file intended for the major version of the package. You
must know the serial number of the TelcoBridges Tmedia unit to be able to choose the right
license. For example, the license file WD_TB000103_RELEASE_V2_3_8_RC4_license.dat
would be valid for a Tmedia unit with the serial number TB000103 and any release v2.3
package.
3d. When asked to set the new package as next boot directory, select
True
.
4. Select option
99
to restart the Tmedia unit.
Note
Should this, or any other future firmware package not function and fail to properly start
the Tmedia unit, the last known good boot directory will be used instead.
5.2
Removing a Firmware Package
A firmware package is approximately 18 MB in size. The flash memory of a Tmedia unit is 125 MB.
Before you exceed the flash memory limit, it is recommended that you remove any unused firmware
packages from the flash memory.
Note
Users of Toolpack software are not required to remove older versions of software. The
Toolpack software will do this automatically.
