Dlp-14 A.03 To A.04 Firmware Upgrade - ADTRAN Total Access 850 System Manual

DLP-14 A.03 to A.04 Firmware Upgrade

Introduction
The Total Access line of Integrated Access Devices includes both the ATM and TDM versions of the Total
Access 850. Until now, the Total Access TDM units have been running firmware version A.03.xx.
Recently, A.04.xx has been released to support the TDM Total Access IADs. The development of A.04.xx
code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total Access product line, as it allows all Total Access
family members to share the same base code. This means that features and fixes are more easily
implemented and are propagated across the product line.
The two possible A.03 to A.04 upgrade paths are described in this DLP.
The choice of upgrade path will determine whether the unit's configuration is saved.
Since the A.03 and A.04 firmware loads are significantly different, the text configuration
files for the two revisions are also different. It is recommended that the customer save a
text configuration file for both the A.03 revision (prior to the upgrade) and for the A.04
revision (after completion of the upgrade). Refer to DLP-9, Saving the Current
Configuration Using TFTP, DLP-11, Saving and Transferring a Current Configuration
Using XMODEM, or DLP-13, Saving and Loading Text Configuration using Terminal
Command Line, for further instructions on how to save the configuration.
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
