AT-S39 Version 3.0.1 Management Software Release Notes
PN 613-50389-00 Rev A 3 Allied Telesyn, Inc.
Upgrading from AT-S39 Version 1.4.2 or later to AT-S39 Version 3.0.1
This section contains the procedure for upgrading a switch running Version 1.4.2 or later to
Version 3.0.1 from a local management session using the Xmodem protocol. (You can also load
the new software using TFTP, as explained in the AT-S39 User’s Guide.) The current switch
configuration information, such as IP address and VLANs, is retained when new management
software is installed.
Before you begin the upgrade procedure, please note the following:
• You do not need to upgrade an AT-8000 Series switch if it came with these software release
notes in the shipping box. The switch already contains the latest AT-S39 management
software and bootloader.
• The switch must be running AT-S39 Version 1.4.2 or later before you can upgrade it to
Version 3.0.1. If the switch is running an earlier version, you must first upgrade it to Version
1.4.2 by obtaining the management software and following the instructions in the
appropriate AT-S39 Software Release Notes.
• In networks consisting of several AT-8000 switches, you can simplify the upgrade
procedure by first upgrading a master switch to Version 3.0.1 and then downloading the
new software switch to switch from the master switch to the slave switches, provided that
the slave switches are running Version 1.4.2 or later.
• In several earlier software versions, the image file and bootloader were offered as two
separate files. In Version 3.0.1, the two files are combined into one file.
• Do not use the manufacturer’s boot prompt (=>) to load the new software.
To upgrade a switch running AT-S39 Version 1.4.2 or later to Version 3.0, perform the
following procedure:
1. Establish a local management session on the switch where you intend to download the new
management software.
2. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration menu.
3. From the Administration Menu, type X to select Xmodem Downloads and Uploads.
