Software Upgrade Procedure

Scope
Upgrading a Prisma II module (CCB3-based or equivalent) involves using a
Windows application called the Prisma II Software Upgrade Program (SOUP) and
an FTP server that contains the current entire Prisma II software release.
SOUP is a user-friendly application that allows users to perform software upgrades
on Prisma II modules. The SOUP utility simplifies the software upgrade process by
providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that requires little training and eliminates
equipment downtime.
When connected to an ICIM2, the program shows the user the current versions of
software on all modules and allows the user to download and activate new versions
from system release files. The SOUP utility works with the ICIM2 to send the binary
image files and appropriate commands to the modules to upgrade their software.
As the modules are being upgraded, the SOUP utility displays relevant progress
information for the user.
Applicability
This procedure specifically applies to upgrading bdr-I modules from 1.01.10 to
1.01.11 to fix the chassis ID recognition problem.
