Upgrading the firmware for the QAM6 is similar to updating the firmware for the COM46 and
XDR24 except for the following differences:
QAM6 upgrade is tftp only. Ftp is not available.
Only one QAM6 can be updated at a time.
QAM6 does not automatically reset after the new SW is downloaded. It must be
manually reset by depressing the recessed reset button on the front of the card.
To perform the SW update, first access the QAM command as shown in Figure 60 in Section
6.15. At the bottom of the page are the fields necessary for the SW upgrade (Figure 61). Figure
66 below shows those fields filled in as an example upgrade.
The “tftpIP” will be the IP address of the device that contains the upgrade file (your PC or on
card TFTP server (see Section 5.3.2)). The “Filename” will be the name of the upgrade file (e.g.
“QAM6_01.05.03.img”). It is recommended that you retain the original filename of the update
file you have been issued to avoid confusion later on. The reset field only causes a soft reset.
The card needs a hard reset after the new SW is loaded.
