650 Operating Software and Option Images
Introduction
There are three software segments to the 650 operating software:
• Base software
• Boot PROM
• Option images
Each of these segments can be independently downloaded, allowing you to change
your option package without having to disrupt your base software. However, you
must ensure that both the base software and option image are from the same software
release. If they are not, only the base software will be loaded.
Base software provides the 650 Series device with the minimum set of operational
code required to allow the device to become functional, i.e., ready to receive an
option image. The option image provides the remaining functionality to make the
unit fully operational.
Base Software
Base software names can range from image number 1 to 19, and option images can
range from 20 to 89.
The base software segment contains the minimum software required to render the
unit operational and able to receive an additional option image software via TFTP.
Base software minimally contains the following functionality: X.25, Telnet, SIP, and
a choice of the type of ISDN support you require (North American, European, or
Asian).
The following base software is available for the 650 Series:
Boot PROM
The following Boot PROM image is available for the 650 Series:
Option Images
To accommodate a variety of customer applications, there are multiple software
option images, with various supported protocols, available for the Vanguard 650
Series.
If your specific application requires a different option set than you currently have
running, refer to the Software Release Notice accompanying your Vanguard 650
Series device to determine the software image that matches your specific needs.
