COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System
The input form that appears when 3900 dc download is specified contains the following fields:
Device
Link participation
This command supports the 3980, 3981, and 3982 modems with the same functionality as the
3800 Series modems.
The dndf command supports 3800Plus modems. This will require a different set of firmware
download files (with initial P) than those provided for 3800 Series modems (with initial A).
This command also supports 392xPlus modems. This will require a different set of firmware
download files (with initial M) than those provided for 391x modems (with initial G).
Download Device Firmware Results Form
If you request immediate execution of this command with the local download option only, a
confirmer message displays indicating a potentially long duration of time to download. You can
continue with the transaction or cancel the execution and return to the command input form.
This results form contains the following fields:
Service Class
2-148
The 6800 Series NMS allows you to cancel a transaction by either
clicking on the cancel function key box or pressing the F8 function
key. Do not cancel a download transaction unless absolutely
necessary. The download algorithm involves many states that erase
and move the executable firmware memory. Canceling a download
may leave the modem in the BAP (Basic Application Program)
mode, which is the minimum operating mode of the modem. You
must redo the download to take a modem out of BAP mode.
Enter the address of the extended tributary device to which this command will be sent.
Enter the type of diagnostic channel clone to remote download to be performed. Valid
entries are all and partial. Selecting all allows the download to be performed when all of
the Poll List Active link-attached remote modems are participating in the download
process. Selecting partial allows the download even if there are non-participating
modems in the Active Poll List. Selecting partial runs the risk of having modems with
different firmware versions in different tributaries being on the same line. A confirm
message will display asking you to continue or cancel.
Since diagnostic channel firmware download depends on the active poll list, the accuracy
of the active poll list is critical to the success of the download. Another confirm message
will display, asking you to verify the correctness of the active poll list before executing
the download.
