Tmedia System Installation Guide for TMP6400 and TMS1600
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 "tbgw.pkg" for a TMP6400
or tms.pkg for a TMS1600. These files are 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.
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 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.
To remove a firmware package from the local file system:
1. Start the install tool located in the /tb/bin/release/<proc-OS-arch>/ directory.
2. Select option 21: remove a package.
3. Enter the number associated with the package to remove.
