Upgrading the Switch Software
Allied Telesyn periodically updates and revises the AT-S26 software for
your AT-9006 switches. The latest version of the software is posted on
the Allied Telesyn web site for you to download onto your switches.
The file for you to download is a self-extracting compressed file. It
contains several additional files. One the files is the actual software
image file. It has an .IMG extension. This is the software image file that is
to be used in the following upgrade directions.
You can use either by XModem or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to
upgrade the software on a switch.
The Omega interface simplifies the task of upgrading the software in
multiple AT-9006 switches. Rather than having to upgrade each switch
manually, you need only upgrade one AT-9006 switch in your network
and then use commands in the Omega interface to download the new
software to the other switches automatically. The Omega commands
used for this are Update Software in Another Switch and Broadcast
Updated Software to All Systems.
