Transferring Software and Configuration Files
Software and configuration files can be transferred using TFTP and XMODEM.
This section presents procedures for installing new software releases into the
ASMi-52 units, as well as swapping existing software versions in a local or remote
unit. Complete information on upgrading the ASMi-52 software is provided in
Chapter 6 .
ASMi-52 stores two software versions, each of them in one of the two 512-byte
partitions of its flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software
is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded
into the ASMi-52 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for backup
purposes. By default, ASMi-52 is delivered with the active software only.
New software releases are distributed on diskettes as an *.img file, which is
downloaded to the local ASMi-52 using the TFTP or XMODEM protocol. Upon
downloading, the new software release becomes active, the former active
software turns into backup, and the former backup is erased.
