PN 613-001136 Rev. B 9 Allied Telesis Inc.
Multiple Line Card images by Card Type - Select this option to upgrade the cards by model
name. You are prompted for the model name of the line cards to upgrade and whether they are
local or remote line cards, or both. The model names are:
AT-CM2x2 - Select this option to upgrade these line cards: AT-CM201, AT-CM202, AT-CM202/1,
AT-CM202/2, AT-CM212A/1, and AT-CM212B/1.
AT-CM2Kx - Select this option to upgrade the AT-CM2K0S Line Card.
AT-CM70 - Select this option to upgrade the AT-CM70S Line Card.
All Line Card Images - Select this option if you want to upgrade all of the local line cards as well
as remote AT-CM2 and AT-CM70S Line Cards that have remote peer connections with their local
counterparts.
Single Remote Line Card Image - Select this option to upgrade one remote AT-CM2 or
AT-CM70S Line Card that has a remote peer connection to a local line card. This selection
prompts you for the slot number of the local line card whose remote counterpart you want to
upgrade.
Here are a couple suggestions to consider when selecting an upgrade method:
To test the process on a single local or remote line card, select Single Local Line Card Image or
Single Local Line Card Image, respectively.
Allied Telesis does not recommend updating both remote and local AT-CM Line Cards at the same
time. Rather, you should update the remote line cards first.
After you’ve made a selection and responded to the prompts, the management card begins the
upgrade process by querying the TFTP server for the image file of the AT-S73 Management Software
for the line cards you are upgrading. If you are updating more than one type of AT-CM2 Line Card,
such as the AT-CM2x2 Line Cards and the AT-CM2K0S Line Cards, the management card updates
just one type of card at a time.
After the management card has received the image file from the TFTP server, it transmits it over the
backplane of the chassis to one of the AT-CM2 Line Cards you are upgrading. The transfer takes
approximately two and a half minutes. After a line card has received the file, it writes it to flash
memory, which takes about thirty seconds. The line card then resets and initializes its new
management program, which takes about another minute. (The RDY LED on the line card does not
light up until the card has initialized its management software.) Afterwards, if you are updating more
than one card, the process repeats with the next card.
CAUTION:
Do not remove a line card or power off the chassis while a card is writing the image file to flash
memory. Doing so may damage the card.
