Aborting a firmware download
You can only abort (disable/cancel) a scheduled download that has not yet started. Any download
currently in progress to a circuit pack finishes. For example, if you had scheduled a C-LAN distributed
download to multiple targets and the download was in progress to the first circuit pack when you disabled
the download, then the download would stop after the completion of the first circuit pack's download and
the remainder of the circuit packs would not receive the download.
To abort a self or C-LAN-distributed firmware download, enter the SAT command
download .
Testing firmware download
You can test a self- or C-LAN-distributed firmware download either before a scheduled download has
begun or after an attempted download has reported errors.
