Remote Updates
of the AT-S73
Management
Software
Allied Telesis may periodically release new versions of the AT-S73
Management Software for the AT-CM Media Converter Line Cards. New
software can be downloaded to remote media converter line cards through
the OAM-based remote peer management feature. This saves you from
having to visit the remote sites where the line cards are located when you
want to update their management software.
Figure 5 illustrates this feature. The remote AT-CM Line Card receives a
new version of the AT-S73 Management Software over the fiber optic link
on Port A from its line card counterpart in the managed chassis, in this
case the AT-CV5000 Chassis. The file is downloaded through the
management card from a local management session using XMODEM or
from a remote TFTP server. For instructions, refer to Chapter 11,
”Uploading and Downloading Files” on page 271.
