2-14 Maintenance overview
one unit of the XPM is out-of-service (OOS). In-service firmware
downloading supports NTMX77 and NTAX74 processors.
Note: In-service firmware downloading refers to the loading of the
firmware while the unit is InSv. The upgrade of the firmware occurs with
the XPM unit out of service (OOS).
This feature introduces the LOADFW command. The LOADFW command
distinguishes the firmware load application from the firmware upgrade
application. The command syntax for the LOADFW command is:
LOADFW: Load Firmware onto a PM or unit.
Parms: <DEVICE> {UNIT <UNIT_NO> {0 TO 1},
To download firmware to the XPM, execute one of the following commands.
The following are examples of the LOADFW command.
>LOADFW PM
or
>LOADFW UNIT unit_no
or
>LOADFW INACTIVE
Note 1: If the firmware_file is not specified with the LOADFW command,
the command applies the firmware_file datafilled in the appropriate
inventory table.
Note 2: By using the LOADFW command without the UPGRADE option,
the firmware downloads to the DMS system.

option of the LOADPM command. A message is output to the user if the
