1. Connect to the TRACER 64x0 using the front panel DB-9 CRAFT interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s CRAFT interface (either with a VT100 compatible
terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the procedure in DLP-1, Connecting a
VT100 Terminal or PC to the CRAFT Port, on page 91. Connecting to the CRAFT interface limits the
upgrade procedure to XMODEM only.
2. Log in to the unit (see DLP-2, Logging into the TRACER 64x0, on page 93 for details).
3. Press m to go to the Main menu page.
4. Select the M
ANAGEMENT/UTILITIES menu and press <Enter>.
5. Select the F
IRMWARE UPGRADE UTILITY menu and press <Enter>.
6. Go to the F
ILE XFER METHOD menu and select XMODEM.
7. Select the U
PGRADE DESTINATION. (Valid selections for XMODEM are LOCAL IDU and LOCAL ODU).
8. View C
URRENT UPDATE STATUS to verify the progress of the current firmware update or to identify any
errors encountered during the download.
9. Select S
TART from the COMMAND menu to start the update.
When the TRACER 64x0 is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen clears and
displays XMODEM waiting for start....<Ctrl-X> twice to Cancel. If this does not appear, please
review the steps above for possible configuration errors.
10. 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.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred inband through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the TRACER 64x0 will be inoperable from the CRAFT 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).
11. When the update has successfully completed, I
DLE displays in the CURRENT UPDATE STATUS field and
U
PGRADE FINISHED SUCCESSFULLY displays in the PREVIOUS UPDATE STATUS field.
The TRACER 64x0 will restart immediately and resume operation. During reset and initialization, the
RF link between the units will not be operational.
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 10/100BaseT/TX MGMT port, the
TRACER 64x0 may be quickly upgraded using TFTP, provided there is a TFTP server on the local
network. (See DLP-5, Updating the Firmware Using TFTP, on page 103 for more details.)
Perform the following steps in the order listed.
The TRACER 64x0 supports serial baud rates of up to 115200 bps. Changing the speed on
the
CRAFT interface will significantly reduce upgrade time. The TRACER 64x0 and the
VT100 terminal (or PC with emulation software) must be configured for the same baud
rate.
