11. When the update is finished, use the ONLINE command to go online with
one modem from each of the cards that you updated. Example: "ONLINE
2A,3A,4A" starts an online session with the first modem of each card
12. Type ATI. The modem will respond with its new firmware version. Example:
[0] A:\ # ONLINE 2A
==== Online with device: Slot 02 Device A ====
==== type "<esc> and ?" to display help information ====

Q15. How do I update the firmware code of my CommPlete
Controller module?
A15. The instructions in this file use the scenario of updating the CommPlete controller
module. The steps below use this scenario to provide you with examples of the
commands to enter. The instructions also assume that you are updating a
controller currently running 2.40 firmware or later.
1. Using an FTP client program, such as the one that comes with Windows
95/98, delete from the controller at least half of the files in the directory
B:\MMM\MR.LOG\. These files are event files that the controller generates
hourly, and they usually take up all the space on the B drive.
2. Transfer the firmware file to the root directory of the controller's B drive.
CAUTION: Do NOT transfer the firmware file to the controller's A drive. The
A drive does not have enough space for the file. Transferring the file to the A
drive will cause errors in the file and, perhaps, errors in the system.
3. Close your FTP session. Then open a Telnet session with the controller.
(Note: A terminal attached to the controller with a null-modem serial cable
will perform the same function that the Telnet session will perform.)
4. Log in as the supervisor. The default username and password are both
supervisor.
5. At the # prompt, type B: to change to the B drive.
6. Type DIR or LS to display the contents of the root directory. Compare the
size of the original firmware file to the size of the copied file on the controller.
If the sizes do not match, then delete the copy from the controller and re-
transfer the original file to the controller. The copy MUST be the same size
as the original for the update to work properly.
7. If the controller's copy of the firmware file is the correct size, type UPDATE
REL241.HXC. The controller will display the conditions of the update—-the
device it will update and the name of the firmware fileit will use—-and it will
ask you if they are correct.
