Downloading the AT-S62 Image File onto a Switch
This section contains two procedures for downloading a new AT-S62
image file onto the switch. They are:
❑ Downloading the AT-S62 Image from a Local Management
❑ Downloading the AT-S62 Image from a Telnet Management
Caution
Installing a new AT-S62 image file will invoke a switch reset. Some
network traffic may be lost.
You can use either Xmodem or TFTP when downloading files from a
local management session. You must use TFTP when downloading files
from a Telnet management session.
Here are guidelines that apply to both Xmodem and TFTP downloads:
❑ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new
AT-S62 software image is installed. If you want to return a switch
to its default configuration values, refer to Returning the AT-S62
Software to the Factory Default Values on page 76.
❑ The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
Here are guidelines that apply to an Xmodem download:
❑ Xmodem can only download the image file onto the switch on
which you started the local management session. You cannot use
Xmodem to download a new image file onto a switch accessed
through enhanced stacking.
❑ The new AT-S62 image file must be stored on the computer or
terminal connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.
Here are guidelines that apply to a TFTP download:
❑ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP
server software and the new AT-S39 image file to be downloaded
must be stored on the server.
❑ You should start the TFTP server software before you begin the
download procedure.
❑ The switch on which you are downloading the new image file
must have an IP address and subnet mask, such as a master switch
