Building and Using a Firmware Library
Building a Firmware Library
OpenLane allows you to maintain a firmware library from which you can download
firmware to devices in your network.
Before the Download Feature can schedule or activate firmware download to a
device, you must retrieve the firmware files from the Paradyne Web site.
Procedure
1. Go to Paradynes Technical Support site to obtain access to firmware files:
www.paradyne.com/tech_support
.
2. Download the appropriate firmware file or files.
If the firmware file is a .exe file, it is a self-extracting zip file. Unarchive it on a
Windows platform and, if it will reside on a Solaris platform, use FTP to move
it.
3. Move the files to the subdirectory under
/opt/pdn/OpenLane/database/firmware
(Solaris) or
C:\opt\pdn\OpenLane\database\firmware
(Windows) for the
appropriate model.
.OCD
files are for FrameSaver products
.IMG
and
.FPI
files are for DSL products
4. Map the firmware version to the firmware filename by editing the firmware.dat
file in the selected models directory. The syntax is:
version=filename
FrameSaver Map Example:
01.02.01=R010201.ocd
DSL Map Example:
04.00.30=pc8314.3001.img
