Upgrading Software

For system upgrade, you will need to follow one of the above-mentioned upgrade paths (\product

name\country\protocol or access package). This path not only depends upon product, but also the

ISDN Standard you will be using and the software options you have purchased. For example:

• If you are installing a CSX156 in a geographical area that uses JAPAN ISDN standards, and you

have purchased the IP/IPX software option, use the files found in the \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipx

directory.

If you choose to install this information onto your hard drive, it will be placed under the following

base directory:

([drive]:\Program Files\Cabletron Systems, Inc.\)

Note that these files will be specific to the configuration options you choose during installation.

LOCAL SOFTWARE UPGRADE

To perform a local upgrade, use any valid local administration console as described in Making

Connections. Update the SSB first, if the Release Notes indicate this is necessary, and then follow

with the update of the OSW.

OCAL UPGRADE OF THE SECOND STAGE BOOT (SSB)

1. Restart the CyberSWITCH.

2. When “Waiting for Commands:” appears on the system screen, enter the following command:

recover

3. Wait for the system to respond with the prompt “Ready for Hex Download”. Using your

communications program:

• Select ASCII to be the protocol used for the file transfer. Note that your communications

program may use other terminology in place of “ASCII,” for example, some programs use

“Send as a text file.”

• Change character spacing to “0”. (This may be called by another name in some

communications packages. For example, some programs call it character pacing.)

• Set line spacing (or pacing) to “0”.

• Insert the CSX diskette into the drive of your administration console.

• Enter the name of the file to be transferred, using the complete pathname. For example,

D:\CSX156\JAPAN\IPIPX\RECOVER1.

4. You will receive a message if the upgrade completes successfully. The system will then

automatically reboot.
