Optimux-34 Ver. 2.81 Upgrading Optimux-34 Software via the Boot Menu 6-7
The Boot menu procedures are recommended only for use by authorized
personnel, because this menu provides many additional options that are intended
for use only by technical support personnel.
Two software downloading options are available from the Boot menu:
• Downloading using the XMODEM protocol. This is usually performed by
downloading from a PC directly connected to the CONTROL port of the unit.
• Downloading using the TFTP. This is usually performed by downloading from a
remote location that provides an IP communication path to an Ethernet port
of Optimux-34.
Using the XMODEM Protocol
Use the following procedure to download the new software release to
Optimux-34 via XMODEM.
Verify that the *.img file is stored on the PC with the terminal application.
1. Configure the communication parameters of the selected PC serial port for
asynchronous communication for 115.2 kbps, no parity, one start bit, eight
data bits and one stop bit. Turn all types of flow control off.
2. Turn off Optimux-34.
3. Activate the terminal application.
4. Turn on Optimux-34 and immediately start pressing the <Enter> key several
times in sequence until you see the Boot screen. A typical screen is shown
below (the exact version and date displayed by your Optimux-34 may be
different).
If you miss the timing, Optimux-34 performs a regular reboot process (this
process starts with Loading and ends with a message to press <Enter> a few
times to display the log in screen).
