UPLOAD THE UPGRADE FILES
Use the Upload page to transfer the required upgrade files from a computer or
laptop to your Prism system or unit.
Each software upgrade requires the following files to go from one version to the
next:
• upgrade.x-y.tar.gz.md5
• upgrade.x-y.tar.gz
where
• x identifies the version from which the unit/system is being upgraded
• y identifies the version to which the unit/system is being upgraded.
NOTE: Each upgrade file set is designed to upgrade a specific EMS release, which may be
updating the EMS GUI or unit firmware, or both. If you try to apply upgrade files to a
system/unit that is not running the EMS release for which the upgrade files are designed,
the update will abort when it runs its version check.
Do the following to upload the required upgrade files:
1 Contact ADC to obtain the appropriate upgrade files (see “Appendix C:
Contacting ADC/TE Connectivity” on page 297).
2 Verify that there is sufficient space on the disk drive to accommodate the
upgrade files that you need to upload.
3 Save the upgrade files to your computer.
4 To access the Upload page, in the System Menu bar, click Upgrades > Upload.
5 Click Browse.
6 In the Choose File dialog, navigate to where the upgrade *.tar.gz and *.tar.gz.md5
files are stored.
