The DPA 7630/7610 includes several built-in troubleshooting and diagnostic features. Use these sections for details about troubleshooting:
After configuring options on the DPA 7630/7610, you might need to restart it for the changes take effect. Restarting the DPA 7630/7610 causes it to lose any queued MWIs so check the queue before restarting. To restart the DPA 7630/7610, perform these steps:
Step 2 Verify that the "Queued MWI commands" field is empty.
Step 3 From the main menu, choose Configure.
Step 4 Choose Restart.
The Cisco DPA 7630/7610 has two software images: a main software image and a boot loader. If necessary, you can upgrade these software images.
The main software image might need to be updated if a new release is available on Cisco.com as a bug update or feature enhancement.
Caution When you send a new software image to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP, the current image is automatically deleted. If the FTP transfer terminates before the new file is copied to the DPA 7630/7610, the DPA 7630/7610 might not be able to start up. See the "Resolving an Incomplete Upgrade" section to resolve this problem. |
To upgrade the main software image, perform these steps:
dpa-main.
<version>.tar, where <version> indicates the release number, such as 1-1-2.
Step 2 Connect to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP and send the configuration file to it.
Step 3 Restart the DPA 7630/7610 for the new image to take effect.
Step 4 From the main menu on the DPA 7630/7610, choose Display.
Step 5 Choose Versions to verify the updated version has been installed.
The boot loader is the initial startup image. You should not upgrade this image unless instructed by a Cisco technical representative.
Caution Only upgrade the boot loader if you are instructed to do so by a Cisco technical representative. If you encounter difficulties during this upgrade, such as a loss of power, the DPA 7630/7610 might not be able to start up. |
To upgrade the boot loader image, perform these steps:
dpa-loader.
<version>.bin, where <version> indicates the release number, such as 1-1-2.
Step 2 Ensure the DPA 7630/7610 has started up normally.
Step 3 Connect to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP and send the configuration file to it.
Step 4 While still connected to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP, enter a dir
command to verify that the new file is on the DPA 7630/7610.
Step 5 On the DPA, choose Diagnostics from the main menu.
Step 6 Choose Reprogram boot ROM.
Caution If the DPA 7630/7610 loses power or experiences a failure at this step, the DPA 7630/7610 might not start up. If this occurs, contact a Cisco technical representative for assistance. |
Step 7 Choose Yes to confirm.
The Boot ROM reprogrammed message appears verifying the programming has finished.
Step 8 Restart the DPA 7630/7610 for the changes to take effect.
If you initiated an upgrade to the main software image, but terminated it before the FTP transfer of the new image completed, the DPA 7630/7610 might not start up properly.
If this occurred, the next time the DPA 7630/7610 starts up, one of the following occurs:
To resolve either of these errors, while connected to the DPA 7630/7610 using the console port (see "Connecting to the Console Port" section), establish an FTP session and transfer the main image file again, following the steps in the "Upgrading the Main Image" section.
