Download OLT Software

Perform a Manual Software Download to all OLTs. Multiple downloads can be in progress simultaneously. Software downloads vary depending on the system loading and can take as much as 3 hours. Since they are non-service-affecting, this can be done at  any convenient time to pre-stage the software.

Note 1: Should the current version of software be too old for upgrading to the new version format, the following error message will be displayed: The system does not support direct upgrade from your current version to the selected version. You must first upgrade to one of the loads listed below before upgrading to your desired release. Select the load that is closest to your desired version, but lower in number. SR/FP27.1_015180 SR/FP29.0_015552 SR/FP29.1_015750 SR/FP29.2_015828 SR/FP30.0_015647.

Note 2: Should your version be older than those listed above Contact Technical Support to obtain a load or series of loads to reach the current version for download.
