A.03 TO A.04 FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Introduction
The Total Access line of Integrated Access Devices includes both the ATM and TDM versions of the Total
Access 604/608/612/616/624. Until now, the Total Access TDM units have been running firmware version
A.03.xx. Recently, A.04.xx has been released to support the TDM Total Access IADs. The development of
A.04.xx code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total Access product line, as it allows all Total
Access family members to share the same base code. This means that features and fixes are more easily
implemented and are propagated across the product line.
The two possible A.03 to A.04 upgrade paths are described in this DLP.
Prerequisite Procedures
Obtain the A.04 firmware and the A.03.90 (Transition Build) firmware from the ADTRAN website
(http://www.ADTRAN.com).
The choice of upgrade path will determine whether the unit's configuration is saved.
Since the A.03 and A.04 firmware loads are significantly different, the text configuration
files for the two revisions are also different. It is recommended that the customer save a
text configuration file for both the A.03 revision (prior to the upgrade) and for the A.04
revision (after completion of the upgrade). Refer to DLP-009 and DLP-011 for further
instructions on how to save the configuration.
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
In this DLP, unit refers to the Total Access 604, 608, 612, 616, and 624.
