78 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING PATHBUILDER S330/S310 MODULES, PORTS, AND APPLICATIONS The Report Firmware Version screen displays the following information about the management processor active firmware (the upgradeable firmware currently being used by the MCPU): Version-The released firmware version number. This is the version number that is displayed on the login screen. Origins-The original engineering build number for the release. If the Version and Origins release numbers are the same, then the release is not an official release but rather a Beta test version. Who-The user login ID for this software build. Date-The date and time that the build was made. Company Name-3Com Corporation (or OEM partner if desired) Product Name-The PathBuilder product for which this image was built: PathBuilder S700, PathBuilder S600, PathBuilder S330, or PathBuilder S310. In addition to the management processor firmware information listed above, the Report Firmware Version screen also lists the Boot Firmware Release-the version number of the boot firmware containing the bootstrap code used to bring up the operation firmware.) Downloading New The PathBuilder S330/S310 module retains the operation firmware in a flash Management Processor memory bank located in the motherboard. On power-up or reset, the code image Firmware is copied from the flash memory to the main memory. The flash memory retains a copy of the operation firmware and can be upgraded using TFTP or the Xmodem protocol. TFTP is used if you are attached over the Ethernet interface through a Telnet session. Xmodem is used if you are attached to serial port 1 on a VT100 terminal. We recommend that you avoid using the serial interfaces unless the Ethernet interface is unavailable, as a download could take 30 minutes at 9600 baud using the serial interfaces. When downloading, the flash memory is overwritten with the new code. Once the firmware is successfully downloaded, a system reset brings up the new code. The following instructions pertain to UNIX environments. You can also download firmware from a PC: from a TFTP application, configure for binary mode, specify the location of the image files, and use the PUT command.

The Report Firmware Version screen displays the following information about the

management processor active ﬁrmware (the upgradeable ﬁrmware currently being

used by the MCPU):

Version

—The released ﬁrmware version number. This is the version number that

is displayed on the login screen.

Origins

—The original engineering build number for the release.

If the

Version

and

Origins

release numbers are the same, then the release is not an

ofﬁcial release but rather a Beta test version.

Who

—The user login ID for this software build.

Date

—The date and time that the build was made.

Company Name

—3Com Corporation (or OEM partner if desired)

Product Name

—The PathBuilder product for which this image was built:

PathBuilder S700

PathBuilder S600

PathBuilder S330

, or

PathBuilder S310

In addition to the management processor ﬁrmware information listed above, the

Report Firmware Version screen also lists the

Boot Firmware Release

—the version

number of the boot ﬁrmware containing the bootstrap code used to bring up the

operation ﬁrmware.)

Downloading New

Management Processor

Firmware

The PathBuilder S330/S310 module retains the operation ﬁrmware in a ﬂash

memory bank located in the motherboard. On power-up or reset, the code image

is copied from the ﬂash memory to the main memory.

The ﬂash memory retains a copy of the operation ﬁrmware and can be upgraded

using TFTP or the Xmodem protocol. TFTP is used if you are attached over the

Ethernet interface through a Telnet session. Xmodem is used if you are attached to

serial port 1 on a VT100 terminal.

We recommend that you avoid using the serial interfaces unless the Ethernet

interface is unavailable, as a download could take 30 minutes at 9600 baud using

the serial interfaces.

When downloading, the ﬂash memory is overwritten with the new code. Once the

ﬁrmware is successfully downloaded, a system reset brings up the new code.

The following instructions pertain to UNIX environments. You can also download

ﬁrmware from a PC: from a TFTP application, conﬁgure for binary mode, specify

the location of the image ﬁles, and use the PUT command.
