Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router 10.3 Firmware Update Option 7 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance takes you to Menu 24.7 - System Maintenance - Upload Firmware which allows you to upgrade the firmware or default configuration. You can upgrade the firmware either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Updating the firmware via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete. Note that this function erases the old data before installing the new one; please do not attempt to update unless you have the new firmware at hand. There are 2 components in the system: the router firmware and the configuration file, as shown next. Menu 24.7 -- System Maintenance - Upload Firmware 1. Upload Router Firmware 2.
