To Upgrade the AlterPath Manager Firmware
You may upgrade the AlterPath Manager firmware by downloading the upgraded software from the web to the AlterPath Manager.
1.
From the Cyclades website (www.cyclades.com), download and copy the firmware to the AlterPath Manager via Secure Copy (SCP).
The firmware is composed of two files:
Copy the two files to the AlterPath Manager /tmp directory as follows:
                scp all_e2000_v141.tgz root@<APM_IP>:/tmp Enter
                scp all_e2000_v141.md5sum.tgz root@<APM_IP>:/tmp Enter
2.
Log in to the AlterPath Manager as root, and then change the directory to
 
/tmp
as follows:
                
ssh root@<APM_IP>
Enter
                
cd /tmp 
Enter
Note: If you log in as shown here, you will lose the ssh connection after you reboot as indicated in step 4. below. You will either need to re establish the ssh connection after the APM finishes rebooting.

As an alternative, or you can log in to the APM by connecting a terminal directly to the APM console port. The terminal or terminal emulator should be set to 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. This will keep an active connection even while the APM reboots.
        
 
3.
                
installimg all all_e2000_v141.tgz 
Enter
The system performs an MD5 checksum comparison and displays the message:
Checking all image . . . 
If the firmware file is verified, the following is displayed:
IMG OK
Note: If the firmware verification fails, you must restart this procedure from step 1..
4.
                reboot
                
 
Enter
