Press [Y] when asked: Are you sure you want to do a remote software update?The transfer process, repeated for each file, is as follows:1. The originating node will send a message that includes the name and sizeof the largest file to be sent. A request for the remote node's releasenumber will also be sent with the first file name. If the release numbers ofthe sending and receiving nodes are incompatible, the transfer will notoccur, and an error message will be displayed. If this happens, contactyour service representative.2. The remote node will check to make sure there is enough disk space toaccept the file; if not, the connection will be cleared and a correspondingmessage displayed. If there is enough disk space, the file will be trans-ferred, and stored in the remote node under a temporary file name until thenode verifies that the file is the expected size. (If it is not, the temporaryfile will be deleted.)3. If the temporary file is the expected size, the "old" file will be deleted andthe new file renamed. As the update progresses, you can press [F4] at anytime to abort the transfer and clear the connection. Once the update is com-plete, the sending node will clear the connection.8 Frame Relay ModuleNode Name=Port S tatus DisplayP Typ e PPS Con n# S tate P Type PPS Conn # S tateF1: LoginN ode N ame=M A I N M E N UA ConfigurationB Op erationsC Status D is playsD Even tsE StstisticsF ReportsOption:
