DLP-8 Updating the Firmware using XMODEM
Introduction
The Total Access 6XX supports firmware updates using TFTP or XMODEM. (Use the 10/100BASET
Ethernet port and TFTP from a network server, or use XMODEM and the rear
CRAFT interface.) This
procedure outlines the steps for a successful firmware upgrade using the rear
CRAFT interface and
XMODEM software. (See DLP-7, Updating the Firmware using TFTP, for instructions on using TFTP.)
Tools and Materials Required
• VT100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software
• XMODEM software (XMODEM capability is provided using the ADTRAN Utilities VT100 program).
• Appropriate cable to connect terminal to the Total Access 6XX (customer-provided).
• DB-9 female to RJ-48 female adapter (ADTRAN proprietary) for connecting to the CRAFT port on the
rear of the unit (see
CRAFT Port on page 31).
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
Electronic equipment can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
modules, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic
components. Place equipment in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
When working on equipment, always place it on an approved antistatic mat that is
electrically grounded.
