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.
