Configuring the Board(s)
The 'NMS TX CPs' Control Panel configuration applet is nolonger part of SS7.
First, run 'txcpcfg' and verify the bus and slot of theinstalled board(s). You should see the following:
Bus Slot CP Number

Updating Board Firmware Usingtxflash
Update the on-board kernel with the latest firmware image
txflash - r oldfirmw.bin -w cpk3220.bin -b 1
r = read the old firmware image into filename specified
w = write filename image to flash memoryb = board number
Reset the board to execute the new firmware image
txreset -b 1
Slide 5
If the txreset utility works, the board(s) are OK
Note: If you do not flash the board manually the first time you run thess7load.bat file, it will update the board.
