Downloading New Management Software Using XMODEM
The procedure in this section explains how to use XMODEM to download
new versions of the management software programs to the AT-CV5M02
Management Card and the AT-CM Line Cards. Unlike TFTP downloads,
which allow you to update multiple line cards at the same time, XMODEM
downloads can only update one card at a time.
Note
Allied Telesis recommends that you save the current configurations
of all the AT-CM Line Cards in the master configuration file before
performing these procedures. For instructions, refer to “Saving Your
Configuration Changes” on page 78.
Note
Updating the AT-S99 Management Software on the AT-CV5M02
Management Card interrupts the card's operations. The card will be
unresponsive for approximately two minutes while it downloads and
initializes the new software. Your management session ends. To
resume managing the unit, you have to start a new management
session.
Caution
Updating the management software on the AT-CM Line Cards
interrupts the cards' network operations. Some network traffic may
be lost. The line cards stop forwarding network traffic for
approximately two minutes while they store and initialize the new
software.
This procedure has the following requirements:
ˆ The procedure has to be performed from a local management session.
For instructions, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on
page 72.
ˆ This procedure is not supported from a Telnet or web browser
management session.
ˆ You need to store the new management software programs on the
computer or terminal on which you’ll be performing the local
management session.
ˆ To download new management software on the AT-CM70S Line Card,
the card must be set to the UART backplane mode. For instructions,
refer to “Selecting the Management Method for the AT-CM70S Line
Card” on page 242.
