COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

2-148 January 1997 6800-A2-GB31-20

NOTE

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.

The input form that appears when 3900 dc download is specified contains the following fields:

Device

Enter the address of the extended tributary device to which this command will be sent.

Link participation

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.

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

The specific class (APL or DDD) of the device.
