Update Software - Canoga Perkins 2346 User Manual

Update Software

Each module in the Universal Chassis System has two flash memory banks that store software:
•
The Active Flash Memory holds the software currently in use
•
The Inactive Flash Memory holds the new software from a download or the older version of
software
Software is downloaded to the inactive region to avoid disrupting service. Resetting the module and
swapping banks does not affect module operation and is transparent to user traffic.
Use the Software Upgrade report and menu screen to check the current version of the 2346 firmware
and to upgrade software for any module in the domain or a managed module partner, if necessary.
To access the Software Upgrade screen, follow these steps:
1. At the Main Menu, type
2. At the Software Upgrade screen, record the numbers for the Active and Inactive Firmware.
