DLP-6 Updating ATLAS Firmware using TFTP

Introduction

The ATLAS 800 Series supports firmware updates via the 10/100 BASET Ethernet port using either TFTP

from a network server or the A

DMIN or CRAFT interfaces using XMODEM. This DLP provides the steps to

follow for a successful firmware upgrade using the 10/100 B

ASET Ethernet port and a TFTP Server.

Tools and Materials Required

• A PC with a Telnet client software

• A TFTP Server accessible on the local network (A TFTP server is provided with the unit as part of the

ADTRAN Utilities software.)

TFTP Instructions for Updating Firmware

1. Connect to the ATLAS using the 10/100 BASET interface. (If you are not already connected to the

unit’s E

THERNET port using Telnet client software, use the procedure in DLP-4, Verifying

Communications Over an IP LAN, on page 324 to connect to the unit.)

2. Login to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-5, User Access and Password Security

Levels, on page 327 for details).

3. Go to the S

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a

lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling modules,

wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components. Place

modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on

modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically grounded.
