The binary files that the ALE handsets use are located in \/usr2\/downbin\/ however these are mainly symbolic links to the real files which are in \/usr2\/downbin\/standard as you can see from the following<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root sys 17 Nov 9 18:30 bin86x8P -> standard\/bin86x8P this shows that the ‘file’ bin86x8P in \/usr2\/downbin is a link to (usr2\/downbin\/)standard\/bin86x8P (the bit in brackets is the full path but not required as we are already in that directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to that ‘lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root sys 17 Nov 9 18:30 bin8678P -> standard\/bin8678P’ is a link from downbin to \/standard\/ but the ‘file’ standard\/bin8678P is again a link to bin86x8P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the current range of ALE 300, 400 & 500 handsets all look to the bin86x8P file but if you wanted to test a new binary only on the ALE-500 replacing the current ‘real’ file in the directory would cause all of the sets to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To only update a single model range you should do the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. ftp the new binary onto the system placing it in \/usr2\/mtcl\/ <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. give the file a unique name say ‘version’bin86x8P so R200.1.20.17.2175_bin86x8P<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. change to root<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. cp the file to \/usr2\/downbin\/standard<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. chown mtcl:tel ‘filename’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Update the required symbolic link :ln -sfn \/usr2\/downbin\/standard\/R200.1.20.17.2175_bin86x8P \/usr2\/downbin\/bin86x8P<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. If you need to change the ownership of the link use the -h flag i.e chown -h root:sys ‘link-name’ as using chown root:sys ‘link-name’ will change the ownership of the file the link points to! <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
