TABS Download

for the IMUX

The IMUX is the only TABS based application module in the AS3000
family of products. The download process for the IMUX requires
the use of the T) TABS download option in the SCM Download
Firmware Menu. The messages for the TABS download differ
slightly from the ACP Broadcast messages.

The major difference is that the TABS download allows only
broadcast downloads, not targeted downloads. All IMUX modules in
the shelf are upgraded if one is upgraded. The process takes about
20 minutes per module.

Broadcast

Results

If the ACP Broadcast Results option is used before a broadcast has
been done, the information shown will apply only to the status of
code in the SCM module(s).

During a download, ACP Broadcast Results cannot be used. Wait
for the download to finish.

The ACP Broadcast Results option shows the results of ACP
broadcast downloads only. If a specific shelf/slot has been
targeted by use of the Card Retransmit function, those results are
not shown in the broadcast result screen.
