Firmware Upgrade Procedures
Firmware upgrades to an IDCSU can be done in three ways:
•
Replacing the integrated circuits which hold the CSU firmware.
•
Using either Access Manager 2000 or Node Manager to
download new code to the module.
•
Using an NCM 2000 to broadcast new code.
Replacing
Firmware ICs
The firmware in a TAC 2130 or TAC 2130-S resides in an EEPROM in
socket U11.
The firmware in a TAC 2130-T resides in a Flash IC in socket U29.
Contact Verilink Technical Support (800-837-4546 extension 333) if
you require a firmware upgrade kit.
Network
Management
Programs
Both Access Manager 2000 and Node Manager offer download
procedures which can be used to upgrade the IDCSU.
For details on using Access Manager 2000 to upgrade an IDCSU,
refer to the
Access Manager 2000 User Manual
.
For details on using Node Manager to upgrade an IDCSU, refer to
the
Node Manager User Manual
.
If you are using an NCM 2000 as the node controller, see the
NCM
2000 User Manual
for a detailed firmware upgrade procedure.
G) Alarm
Determines whether
or not alarm
messages are
presented onscreen.
0(Disable)—Alarm reporting is turned off.
1(Enable)—Alarm reporting is enabled. Messages will
appear on the Craft terminal as alarms occur and clear.
V) Data Invert
Sends ones as zeroes
and zeroes as ones.
If used at one end of
a T1, must be used at
both ends of the T1.
Data inversion is sometimes used to manipulate ones
density. If it is known that the data from a particular DTE
will always have more zeroes than ones, data inversion will
make it have more ones than zeroes. Use of this option to
attempt 64K per DS0 bandwidth over an AMI facility is not
recommended.
