Updating Firmware via the Console Menus
1. Connect to the Total Access 6XX using CRAFT (RJ-48) interface. Selecting a higher baud rate
connection makes the file transfer process faster. Verify that the baud rate setting on the Total Access
6XX matches the VT100 emulation software COM port settings.
If you are not already connected to the 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. Connecting to the
CRAFT
interface limits the upgrade procedure
to XMODEM only.
2. Log in to the unit.
3. Go to the S

U
TILITY
menu and select the U

F
IRMWARE
menu; press <Enter>.
4. Go to the T

menu and select XMODEM.
5. Select S

to start the update process. Enter Y to confirm the upgrade.
6. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate command
sequence. 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. This may take several minutes.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the Total Access 6XX 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.)
7. When the update process has successfully completed, the following messages will display:
Verifying downloaded FLASH image...
Erasing FLASH...
Programming FLASH...
FLASH programmed successfully.
The Total Access 6XX will restart immediately and the user may then log back into the system.
Alternately, 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 utilizing the
ETHERNET port, the
Total Access 6XX may be quickly upgraded using TFTP, provided there is a TFTP server on the local
network. The Total Access 6XX ships with ADTRAN Utilities software, which includes a TFTP
server. See DLP-7, Updating the Firmware using TFTP, for more details.
Perform the steps below in the order listed.
Total Access 6XX XMODEM transfers are compatible with both XMODEM and
1K XMODEM on the VT100 terminal system. Selecting 1K XMODEM on your terminal
session will make the configuration transfer faster.
