622.0. "Upgrading DECagent." by VAXRIO::MANOEL (Manoel Abreu from MCS - Brazil(Rio)-) Fri Jan 14 1994 13:55

    
    	Hi, folks.
    
    	I'm not used to DECagent 90, but I have to help a field engeneer to
    upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1.
    	He phoned me and said that he had already loaded the new software,
    but he wasn't able to get the menu screen in it's console terminal.
    	He told that not even the pound sign appears, and there is a led
    flashing to indicate that a new IP address is needed, but he doesn't
    know how to do this without the menu screen.
    	Please, I would like to check the steps to do such upgrade to see
    if he has done it in the right way.
    	Thanks a lot for any help.
    	Regards.

622.1I think the upgrade failedQUIVER::GAUDETFri Jan 14 1994 19:2117
    The upgrade from V1.0 to V1.1 of the DECagent firmware is a two-step
    process.  See the file:
    
    QUIVER::PROJ$722:[ONEHUB.RELEASE.DENMA.V1_1]DENMA_LOAD_PROCEDURE.TXT
    
    This should tell you everything you need to know.

    It sounds like the image didn't load properly.  If it's the 2nd LED
    that's flashing, the load failed.  When there is no IP address, the 3rd
    and 4th LEDs will alternately flash at one-second intervals.
