PCMCIA

Allied Telesyn offers Omega management software for the AT-4016TR and

the AT-4016F on a ﬁrmware PCMCIA card, the AT-S13.

PCMCIA Port. The PCMCIA card is a read-only interface used for

restoring or updating software. If a PCMCIA card is installed before a reset

or power-up sequence, the switch boots from the PCMCIA card. Otherwise, it

boots from internal Flash RAM.

To update software through the PCMCIA port:

1. Insert the PCMCIA card into the PCMCIA port. This port is located on

the front panel of the AT-4016TR and the AT-4016F and identified as such.

2. Reset the unit with either the reset button located on the front panel or

the reset option in Omega management software.

3. During this process the red Alarm LED will display while the LEDs will

cycle through the Network Load LED. When the LEDs return to normal

operation, the update is complete.

4. Remove the PCMCIA card.

5. Reset the unit again. This will allow the system to boot from flash memory.

The new ﬁrmware will be copied to the switching system’s onboard

nonvolatile ﬂash memory.

NOTE

Your system must be reset before any software modifications will be

recognized. This can be accomplished by physically disrupting power to the

switch or by using the software reset.
