Scheduling the download

Last Updated : Jul 10, 2015 |

About this task

The new firmware image can be downloaded immediately or scheduled for a later time. Due to the potentially large volume of switch activity as a result of the firmware download, Avaya recommends that the download be scheduled for a time when the system will be at its lowest possible occupancy level. This will also limit the number of stations that are aborted because they were in use at the scheduled download time.

Procedure

  1. On the System Access Terminal (SAT) using craft login and password, enter change firmware station-download.

    The Firmware Station-Download form displays the following:

    
change firmware station-download                          Page   1 of   1
                               FIRMWARE STATION-DOWNLOAD

   Schedule Download? y

   Continue Daily Until Download Complete? y
   Download Station Type: 2420
   Beginning Station: 85001              Ending Station: 86000
  2. Select parameters for the download:

    • Enter the firmware filename in the Source File field.

    • If you want to schedule the download for a later date/time, enter y in the Schedule Download Field.

      • Enter a start time in the Start Date/Time field.

      • Enter a stop time in the Stop Date/Time field.

      • If you want to stop the firmware download at the scheduled stop date/time and resume the next day at the scheduled start time, enter y in the Continue Daily Until Download Complete field.

    • Enter extension numbers in the Beginning Station and Ending Station fields. You can enter a maximum of 1,000 stations. Only administered stations within this range with a set type matching the Station Type displayed on this page are available for download.

  3. Submit the command.
