Using TFTP to

Download the

AT-S25 Version

2.0.2 Image File

to the Master

Switch of the

Stack

In a network consisting of several AT-8316F or AT-8324 switches, you
could simplify the upgrade procedure with the two-step process below:

❑ First, download Version 1.5.6.3 image file “ATS25_V1563.IMG” to

the Master switch of the stack.

❑ Secondly, download Version 2.0.2 image file “ATS25_V202.IMG” to

the Master switch of the stack. In turn, the Master switch will
automatically download the new image file to all the Slave
switches.

To download the AT-S25 Version 2.0.2 image file to the Master switch,
the process is as follows:

1. Download the AT-S25 Version 1.5.6.3 image file to the Master switch

via TFTP.

2. Make sure that the source image file you are downloading is for

Version 1.5.6.3 “ATS25_V1563.IMG”.

After Version 1.5.6.3 is downloaded to the Master switch; the
Master switch in turn will download the image file of this version
to all the Slave switches in the stack when it boots up.

When it is rebooted, verify that the current software version is
“1.5.6.3”, and that all the Slave switches also booted up correctly.

3. Download the source image file for Version 2.0.2 “ATS25_V202.IMG” to

the stack via TFTP.

4. Allow the stack to reboot automatically.

Using XModem

to Download

the AT-S25

Version 2.0.2

Image File

This section contains the procedure for upgrading a switch module
running Version 1.5.6.2 or an earlier version to Version 2.0.2 from a local
management interface using the XModem protocol. (You could also
load the new software using TFTP, as explain in the previous section.)

Note

This method is used to upgrade the software to an individual switch
module of a stack or to a stand-alone switch module. If the switch
module is a member of a stack, the stacking cable(s) must be
disconnected from the module before starting this procedure. This
method may be performed from a local host PC only.

Note

Hilgraeve HyperTerminal software is used in this XModem
procedure.
