T-Flash Software Upgrade

ADTRAN offers free product firmware upgrades for its TSU product line using our T-Flash upgrade software. The following instructions explain how the T-Flash software can be downloaded to your site and used to update the flash memory of your TSU 100,TSU 100e, TSU 120, TSU 120e, TSU 600, TSU 600e, TDU 120, HSU 100, or HSU 600 products.

Platform Requirements

T-Flash will need the following system hardware to operate properly:

• Microsoft Windows, version 3.1 (or later), Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation
• A PC Platform supported by a 386 microprocessor
• 4 Megabytes of RAM
• A serial com port for communicating with the TSU unit

If you already have T-Watch or a previous version of T-Flash then installing the software upgrade should not be a problem. These kits contain hardware that is necessary for the flash memory process. This hardware includes a DB25-to-RJ45 adapter, and a six foot RJ45-to-RJ45 cable. If you do not have this hardware please contact ADTRAN Technical Support at 888-423-8726 and arrangements will be made to send you an upgrade kit, including software and a Quick Start Guide.

Downloading T-Flash Software and Device Firmware

1. Download the tf_v34.exe firmware upgrade bundle.
2. Save the tf_v34.exe firmware upgrade bundle to an empty directory on your PC's hard drive.
   Note: This file is self expanding, therefore, an empty directory should be used so that the files contained within will not overwrite any existing files that you may have sharing the same name.
3. Browse the folder where the tf_v34.exe is saved. Execute the tf_v34.exe by double clicking on it. This decompresses the program files in that directory on the hard disk, including the readme.txt or read.me file.
4. Run the SETUP.EXE file in that directory from File Manager or from the Run dialog box, and follow the onscreen instructions.
5. Please refer to the readme.txt or read.me file for full instructions on upgrading your unit.

Note:Before attempting any firmware upgrade, document the current configuration! This will be needed if any configuration restoral problems occur.

When running the T-Flash software, before attempting to connect with the unit to be upgraded, be sure that the proper cables and connectors are in place, the serial port settings on the PC match those set in the unit and that the passcode and unit id values of the unit are entered properly in the T-Flash Unit Access list.
