Upgrading Software
To upgrade the T1000.Z and T1000.bin files:
1
Download T1000.Z and T1000.bin from the Alcatel Support page on the website and place
it on a server that is running a TFTP daemon.
2
Ensure that network connectivity exists between the Alcatel system being upgraded and
the TFTP server holding the new file. Pinging the server from the Alcatel system is a good
method to use to prove connectivity.
3
Download files to the Flash. The general format for the download commands is:
file/download server_ip source_file local_file
server_ip
The IP address of the server holding the upgrade files.
source_file
Path and file name of the file to be downloaded.
local_file
File name to be used in local flash memory.
For example, a typical sequence might consist of:
downloading all files to the main board:
file/download 10.10.1.1 software/T1000.Z T1000.Z
file/download 10.10.1.1 software/T1000.bin T1000.bin
4
Move the .bin images to the downloadable boot area:
file/copy_boot T1000.bin
file/validate_boot T1000.bin
(This should validate the copy_boot procedure.)
5
Make sure you are booting the images from the Flash and then reboot the system:
configure>
boot T1000.Z
Then type “Y” to reboot the router.
6
After reboot, log in and verify the proper software version with the following command:
show version
