Click Open. The file should begin to load. A series of dots
(…..)
will be written to the screen indicating
that the upload is in progress. At the conclusion of the upload, the word
PASS
should be written to the
screen indicating a successful upload. If the word
FAIL
appears, or if
PASS
does not appear, repeat the
previous procedures.

Hit
ENTER
in HyperTerminal, Select menu item 1, and re-enter the IP Address (see
IP Address Setup
above). After the command completes, close HyperTerminal and
cycle power
to the PSA again.
Updating Test Port Firmware
The firmware file for a PSA Test Port is typically named as follows:
SIF-TST_1_59.HEX
Where 1 and 59 are version numbers and the string “TST” indicates this is for the a Test Port on a Test Blade.
The procedure for firmware upgrade installation for the Test Ports is a two-step process.
Step 1
stores the
firmware upgrade file in non-volatile memory in the PSA controller.
Step 2
upgrades the firmware on the test
ports.
Once the test port firmware file is stored in the PSA controller, it remains in non-volatile memory until
it is overwritten.
Step 1: Storing the Firmware File
In this step you transfer the firmware file to non-volatile memory on the PSA chassis.
1.
Open PowerShell WISH or TCL.
2.
At the command line, type
psa_download
followed by the full path and file name of the upgrade file, and
then press
Enter
. For example:
psa_download
c:/SIF_TST_*_**.HEX
where the upgrade file
SIF_TST_*_**.HEX
is in the Root directory of drive
c:
in this case.
(*_** refers to the version number of the current Firmware.)
NOTE!
You must use the forward slash (/) for path separators, as shown in the example above.
3.
When prompted to load the file, type
YES
and press Enter.
4.
Wait until the firmware file is transferred to the PSA chassis – PowerShell will report “DOWNLOAD
COMPLETE”. Then
cycle power
to the PSA chassis.
NOTE!
Firmware download to the PSA will take approximately
30 seconds
to complete. If for any reason it
completes much faster than this, then the download failed and should be re-attempted after cycling power to the
PSA chassis.
Step 2: Upgrading the Test Ports
In this step you use the previously downloaded firmware file (
see Step 1
) to upgrade the test ports. This may be
done either to a
single
selected test port or to
all test ports
in the chassis.
1.
Open PowerShell WISH or TCL.
2.
At the command line, type
psa_update_port
followed by a single port ID (e.g.
1,1
) or the multi-port
argument
allports
to upgrade, and press
Enter
. Examples:
psa_update_port 1,2
(This upgrades slot 1, port 2)
