Start Transfer
This parameter when activated distributes (broadcasts) the new Software Pack to all remote stations in
the network.
Note:
The distribution of software to remote stations does not stop customer traffic from being
transferred. However, due to the volume of traffic, the software distribution process may affect customer
traffic.
Software distribution traffic is classified as ‘management traffic’ but does not use the Ethernet
management priority setting. Software distribution traffic priority has a fixed priority setting of ‘very
low’.
To distribute software to remote stations:
This process assumes that a Software Pack has been loaded into the base station with the file transfer
process (see ‘Software > File Transfer’ on page 227).
1. To ensure that the Network Table is up to date, it is recommended running the node discover function
(see ‘Discover Nodes’ on page 206).
2. Click on ‘Start Transfer’.
Note:
This process could take anywhere between 40 minutes and several hours depending on channel size,
Ethernet Management Priority setting and the amount of customer traffic on the network.
3. When the distribution is completed, activate the software with the Remote Software Activation.
Pause Transfer
This parameter when activated, pauses the distribution process and shows the distribution status. The
distribution process will continue from where it was paused with Resume Transfer.
Cancel Transfer
This parameter when activated, cancels the distribution process immediately.
During the distribution process, it is possible to navigate away from this page and come back to it to check
progress. The SuperVisor session will not timeout.
