Distribution Generally, software distribution is managed from a central site. The Network
Manager configures and initiates software updates as required.
When Software is
Unavailable You can upgrade with software from the new processor card when the software is
unavailable elsewhere in the network by:
• Adding a secondary processor with FLASH memory to your node
• Making the software in the new processor’s FLASH the operating revision of
software in the node
• Retaining the node’s configuration and options
Step Action
1 At the control terminal port, use the Node Statistics to confirm that the
node is running software from RAM and that FLASH is enabled.
If FLASH is disabled, enable FLASH by doing the following:
a) Select FLASH Memory from the Main menu
b) Select Enable FLASH.
2 Install the new processor card in any slot on the node to the right of the
master processor.
3 At the control terminal:
a) Select FLASH Memory from the Main menu.
b) Select Copy Software to FLASH.
It may take several minutes to load the software
4 After the software has been written to the FLASH, check the Node
Statistics to see that all FLASH cards in the node contain the same
revision of software.
