Our boss plopped a Total Control rack on our bench and wants us to flash it up to the most recent firmware available. Its got Hyper NMC, Hyper Arc, and Hyper DSP's. I was told by another technician that the NMC card should get flashed first, then the Arc, then the DSP's, otherwise I could seriously break something. Going through the documentation at ustar.com, I can't seem to find anything which states what the proper flash order is. Can anyone confirm the order I listed is correct? Thanks, - Jamie

If you select all the cards you wish to flash, TCM will do them in order. I don't recall what the order is, just that it does the different card types in order. I bumped up several TCS versions this way, without problems. Not to mention it's all automated. Although you can't select multiple different types of cards, once you select one and go to software download, you can check each card and set the file to be uploaded. When you tell it to start, it will automatically select and upload the software in order. It will also flash multiple cards of the same type all at once. (doing more than 2 HDSPs at once, sometimes requires multiply tries for software to keep) -- Adam Barnhill -----Original Message----- From: usr-tc-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:usr-tc-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Lewis Bergman Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 1:08 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modem systems.
