Once you have upgraded the software on one management module in
the network, you can use the Omega interface to download the new
software onto another management module. The management module
with the upgraded software uses TFTP of the TCP/IP protocol suite to
download the software to the other management module. This
download feature will still work even if you do not use TCP/IP on your
network. A management module can download software to other
management modules of the same product family as long as the
following conditions are met.

❑ If your network does not use TCP/IP, the management modules

must be in the same local segment (collision domain).

❑ If your network uses TCP/IP and the management modules are on

different subnets, the default gateway IP parameter must be
properly configured on all management modules.

❑ All management modules must have the same download

password as the source management module. See the section

Setting the IP Parameters

on page 24 for instructions on setting

the download password.
