This document explains how to upgrade your Elite Gateway* when new software revisions become available. Upgrades may improve system functionality or add new features to your Elite Gateway.
The Elite Gateway offers two operation modes. Under normal conditions, the Elite Gateway operates in regular operational mode. When a software upgrade is required, the Elite Gateway is operated in download mode. In download mode, the CLI will support limited commands allowing users to load new software from a remote TFTP server and write it to the built-in flash non-volatile storage.
See Software Image Versions for a description of all supported software versions for the Elite Gateway.
Entering Download Mode
To switch from normal operation mode to download mode, use the download CLI command.
Console> download <Enter>
Note: To be able to switch to download mode from Telnet session, the TFTP loader on the Elite Gateway must be version 3.00 or higher.
The Elite Gateway will terminate all on-going calls, shut itself down, reset and enter download mode. If you enter download mode from Telnet session, the Telnet session will be terminated. You need to reconnect to the Elite Gateway from Telnet client again to be able to access the CLI commands.
Upon entering the download mode, the CLI will show the following prompt.
