10.2 Updating Software
As BinTec Access Networks GmbH is constantly improving the software for all
its products and you certainly want to use the latest features of X4100/200/300,
this chapter tells you how to update your software.
If you want to update your software, load a new software image in
300 (boot image). Every boot image includes new features, better performance
and any necessary bugfixes from the previous version. You can find the most
up-to-date software images available from BinTec Access Networks GmbH free
on the World Wide Web at www.bintec.net. Here you can also find current prod-
uct-specific documentation (Release Notes, User's Guides, Quick Install
Guides) and general product documentation (Software Reference, BRICK-
ware for Windows).
If you want to update your software, make sure you read the corresponding
Release Notes. The release notes describe the changes provided by the new
boot image.
There are various ways to update software. This chapter will show you how to
update with the help of the update command in the SNMP shell, which is de-
scribed step for step. The alternatives to this method can be found in the Soft-
ware Reference and in
Caution!
An update of the module logic, BOOTmonitor and/or firmware logic is also rec-
ommended in isolated cases. If this should be the case with a new release, this
is clearly noted in the corresponding Release Notes. The procedure and rec-
ommendation can then be found in the Release Notes for the "BOOTmonitor
and Firmware Logic Update" at
The result of incorrect updating operations (e.g. power cut during the update)
could be that X4100/200/300
Update the module logic, BOOTmonitor or firmware logic only if BinTec
Access Networks GmbH explicitly recommends such action!
