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 the 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 and downloading files from a chassis are
described below:
ˆ Local Management Session
This method uses a local management session to upload and
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.
This can be a chassis you accessed directly through a Telnet
management session. This method uses TFTP.
Note
Occasionally, Allied Telesyn will update or revise the AT-S70
software. For more information on how to obtain the latest version of
the software updates, refer to “Obtaining Management Software
Updates” on page 13.
