File Uploads and Downloads Overview
The firmware on the Converteon™ chassis consists of the following three
parts:
ˆ AT-S70 management software
This is the operating software for the chassis.
ˆ AT-S70 bootloader
This code initially controls the chassis whenever you power ON or
reset the chassis.
ˆ System configuration
This contains the settings for the different system parameters.
Note
In AT-S70, the management software and bootloader are combined
into one image file.
You can use the AT-S70 management software to download a new
version of the management software and bootloader onto a chassis so
that it always has the latest software.
Note
A configuration file for a Converteon™ chassis cannot be edited with
a text editor.
The methods for uploading files to and downloading files from a chassis
are described below:
ˆ Local Management Session
This method uses a local management session to upload or download
a file onto a chassis. This method supports Xmodem and TFTP. You
can use this method on any type of Converteon™ chassis.
ˆ Remote Management Session
Another method is from a remote management session of a chassis
through a Telnet management session. This method uses TFTP.
In addition, the software for the line cards consists of two files files:
ˆ Image file
This controls the line card.
ˆ Bootloader file
This software that starts the line card.
You can upload or download this software to a local or remote line card,
through a local or remote management session as described above.
