>Upgrade Firmware
Updates firmware when Express 6503 enhancements are released.
Transfer Method

Two transfer methods are available for use in updating the Express 6503.
The two methods for upgrading are XMODEM and TFTP. TFTP requires a TFTP server
running on the network. The Express 6503 starts a TFTP client function which gets the
upgrade code from the TFTP server. Selecting XMODEM will load the upgrade code through
the CRAFT port using any PC terminal emulator with xmodem capability. The factory default
is TFTP. (See Appendix B. Updating Express 6503 Firmware using XMODEM on page 52 for
more information.)
TFTP Server Address

This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the IP address or domain name (if
DNS is configured) of the TFTP server. The factory default is no entry in the TFTP server
address field.
TFTP Server Filename

This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the case-sensitive file name which
contains the upgrade code. The factory default is no entry in the TFTP server filename field.

Idle Cells

The IDLE CELLS format must be configured for either ATM FORUM (UNASSIGNED) or ITU
(IDLE). Configuring this setting incorrectly for a particular circuit will cause poor performance
at the ATM layer. The factory default setting is ATM FORUM (UNASSIGNED).

This setting must match the configuration setting of the ATM switch or DSLAM at the other
end of the circuit.

Data Scrambling

DATA SCRAMBLING can be ENABLED or DISABLED for cell traffic. Configuring this setting
incorrectly for a particular circuit will cause poor performance at the ATM layer. The factory
default setting is DISABLED.

This setting must match the configuration setting of the ATM switch or DSLAM at the other
end of the circuit.

APPENDIX B. UPDATING EXPRESS 6503 FIRMWARE USING XMODEM
The Express 6503 supports firmware updating using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit’s
CRAFT port. XMODEM is found in the VT 100 terminal emulation application in the ADTRAN Utilities
package and in most PC VT 100 communications software packages.

Make certain that the communications software package being used has flow control
turned off.

Before beginning this procedure, you must obtain the appropriate update file from ADTRAN Technical
Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726).
An XMODEM download can be initiated by pressing B and cycling power to the unit or by using the
console menus. The following materials are required.

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic
components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is
electrically grounded.

Updating Firmware
Perform the Steps Below in the Order Listed

1. Using a VT 100 terminal emulation communication software package which contains
XMODEM protocol support, set the transmit rate of the emulation software to 9600 baud.
2. Press B while powering up the Express 6503.

To shorten transmit time, select the option from the menu to change the transmit rate to
115.2 baud or the highest rate supported by the terminal emulation software. If this
transmit rate is changed, change emulation software properties to match this rate and
disconnect and connect again. Press Enter until the menu appears.

3. Choose option 1, BEGIN XMODEM D OWNLOAD NOW, from the menu to start the XMODEM file
download.
4. Press Y at the START FLASH DOWNLOAD NOW prompt to continue with the XMODEM file transfer.

When Express 6503 is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will display
Transmit Flash . . . download file now. If this does not appear, please review the steps above
for possible configuration errors.

61200296L1-1C

User Interface Guide

Express 6503 SHDSL ATM DSU User Manual

5. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM upload by using the appropriate
command sequence. (If necessary, refer to terminal emulation software documentation for
help. Also, when specifying the filename, ensure that the file transferred is the one provided by
ADTRAN. Otherwise, the update will not complete successfully.)

Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT 100
menus of Express 6503 will be inoperable from the CRAFT port.

6. When the update has successfully completed, TRANSFER C OMPLETE appears in the terminal
window. If an error occurs during the update, an error message will display in the terminal
window. If this occurs, return to Step 3 and attempt the update again. If the same error occurs,
contact ADTRAN Technical Support.
7. After the TRANSFER COMPLETE message has been displayed, cycle the power to the Express
6503.
8. Change the emulation software properties to 9600 baud. Disconnect and connect to the unit at
this transmit rate and continue configuring the unit as normal.

It is suggested that a factory default be conducted after the unit is updated with new
firmware.

Updating Firmware via the Console Menus
1. Using a VT 100 terminal emulation communication software package which contains
XMODEM protocol support, log in to Express 6503.
2. Select SYSTEM UTILITY/UPDATE FIRMWARE.
3. Select XMODEM for TRANSFER METHOD.
4. Press Enter on START TRANSFER <+>.
5. When prompted, press Y to erase flash.

When Express 6503 is ready to receive the XMODEM upload, the menu screen will clear
and display Transmit Flash . . . download file now. If this does not appear, please review the
steps above for possible configuration errors.
