Appendix C Firmware Upgrade and Downgrade Procedures
Graceful Upgrade and Downgrade Procedures
e. Enter the resetcd <active_ASC>command. This command resets the active card.
Step 8 For all SMs
a. Enter the resetcd command. This command resets the card.
b. Enter the dspadrxlat command to ensure that the number of connections is correct.
Step 9 For all SMs, enter the dsptotals command.
Use this step to examine the number of lines, ports, and channels after the upgrade or downgrade. The
values can be compared to those before the download and, therefore, it can be established that the
configuration has remained the same. Restore the ASC and SM configurations if necessary.
Procedure 17Graceful Upgrade, 1-Core Card Set (SM only)
Procedure 17 is used for 1.3.x to 3.y.
Step 1 Save the current ASC configuration. Perform this step for the ASC prior to upgrading the firmware.
First reset the card, then use TFTP get to save the cards current configuration in the workstation.
tftp shelf
tftp> bin
tftp> get AXIS_ASC_ACTIVE.BR
Step 2 Save the current service module (SM) configuration for each primary and stand-alone SM. Perform this
step for the SM prior to upgrading the firmware.
First reset the card, then use TFTP get to save the cards current configuration in the workstation.
tftp shelf
tftp> bin
tftp> get AXIS_SM_1_<slot>.PRI.<service password>
Step 3 For all primary and stand-alone SMs, enter the dsptotals command.
The configuration of the shelf should not be changed during the upgrade or downgrade process. Use this
step to examine the number of shelf connections. A similar step can be made to examine the same
configuration parameters after the upgrade or downgrade and, therefore, it can be established that the
configuration has remained the same.
Step 4 For all SMs, set the start and end addresses in Flash memory where the firmware file will be written.
a. Enter the flashStartAddr and flashEndAddr commands to start the Flash memory file at
Oxbfc00000 and end it at 0xbfc40000
shelf.1.<slot>.<type><a|s>flashStartAddr = 0xbfc00000
shelf.1.<slot>.<type>.<a|s>flashEndAddr = 0xbfc40000
b. Enter the tftp put <SM_BT_file> AXIS_SM_1_$slot.FW command.
c. Enter the chkflash command. This command calculates and compares the Flash checksum to verify
whether the boot code is correct.
d. Enter the version command. This command displays the version of the boot code currently stored
in Flash memory. This step downloads new firmware into the ASC.
