Software Update:
Description: Execute software update.
The software can be upgraded remotely using this command. The tflex-*.iso image must
be obtained from the Symmetricom ftp site ftp.timing.com/pub/ATS-6511. Use binary
transfer mode for all file transfers. Upload the image to the unit using ftp with username
and password 'update'. Software release notes for each version are also available in the
same directory on the ftp site.
After successful completion of the software update, the unit will reboot, system settings
will be reset to their saved values, and hardware will undergo a complete reset, resulting in
the loss of output signals.
