  • A METHOD OF DOWNLOADING NEW VERSION SOFTWARE INTO A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WHICH OPERATES ACCORDING TO THE SOFTWARE AND A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM HAVING FUNCTION FOR DOWNLOADING THE NEW VERSION SOFTWARE
    Publication number: 20020143801
    Abstract: When new software is run in a transmission system, an interchangeable version that indicates software versions capable of residing in a network is specified in a judgment table. Software versions existing at remote transmission systems interconnected over the network are compared with the interchangeable version. If the versions existent at the remote transmission systems are contained in the interchangeable version, a command Start of Downloading is reported to the remote transmission systems. The software of a new version is then downloaded. It is thus impossible to download software that is not interchangeable. When downloading is completed, the end of downloading is reported to the remote transmission systems. A communication failure stemming from downloading is thus prevented.
