  4. Compatibility With Other Released Models

    5. This release is compatible with 8343/8344 running rel. 04.00.26 or later.

  5. Upgrade Procedures:

The 6341/6342 SDSL-CAP DSL Router supports the following methods of upgrade:

1. Download using a PC connected to the 6341/6342 SDSL-CAP DSL Router’s ethernet connector. This

method requires the file C040010.EXE. Obtain this file from the Paradyne web site and execute it on the

connected PC. The PC must be running either Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0, or later. The readme.txt file

that will be installed with the download programs contains the instructions for performing the download.

2. Download using the DSL link. This method requires the file FLSH6341.BIN. Refer to the Paradyne

supplied User’s Manuals for the procedure to follow for this method of upgrade. The sequence to follow when

upgrading a 6341/6342 SDSL-CAP DSL Router to this release over the DSL link is as follows:

1. Upgrade the 6341/6342 SDSL-CAP DSL Router to release C03.01.07 if it is running firmware prior to that

release. This needs to be done due to incompatible DSP code in the releases prior to release C03.01.07.

2. Upgrade the port card to a compatible release as defined in section 10 of this document.

3. Upgrade the 6341/6342 SDSL-CAP DSL Router to this release.
