ATLAS 800 Series System Manual
5. Go to the TRANSFER METHOD menu and select XMODEM.
6. From the R
ESTART SCHEDULE menu, select the time for the module to perform a restart after
completing the update process.
• R
ESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER UPDATE restarts the system immediately after the update is
complete.
• R
ESTART AT SPECIFIED DATE AND TIME allows you to select when the updated system will restart.
If you select this option, a new field called R
ESTART DATE AND TIME displays below the current
field. To use that option, enter the time in 24-hour format (such as 23:00:00 for 11:00 pm). Enter
the date in mm-dd-yyyy format (for example, 09-30-2000).
7. View C
URRENT UPDATE STATUS to verify the progress of the current firmware update or any errors
encountered during the download process.
8. Select B
EGIN FIRMWARE UPDATE to start the update process. Enter Y to confirm the transfer and set
up the module to receive the XMODEM upload.
When the ATLAS is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen clears and displays
Awaiting XMODEM Upload....<Ctrl-X > to Cancel. If this does not appear, please review the steps
above for possible configuration errors.
9. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command
sequence. This may take several minutes.
If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help. Also, when specifying
the filename, ensure that the file transferred is the one provided by ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update
will not complete successfully.
During the upload, the ATLAS VT100 menus will be inoperable from the
ADMIN or CRAFT interfaces
because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface. You can cancel the
update at any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the documentation provided
by the terminal emulation software to determine how to do this.)
10. When the update process has successfully completed, I
DLE displays in the CURRENT UPDATE STATUS
field and M
ODULE UPDATE COMPLETE displays in the PREVIOUS UPDATE STATUS field.
Depending on your selection in step 6, the ATLAS either restarts immediately and resumes operation
or restarts at the specified time and day of the week.
11. Alternatively, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a
PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. By using the
ETHERNET port, the ATLAS may be
quickly upgraded using TFTP—provided there is a TFTP server on the local network. The ATLAS
ships with ADTRAN Utilities software, which includes a TFTP server. (See DLP-6, Updating ATLAS
Firmware using TFTP, on page 329 for more details.)
