            To update the firmware on the GSP, perform the following steps:
            FTP the files to a system with the core I/O lan on the same subnet as the
            GSP

            FTP the firmware files to a system accessible from the GSP
            to be updated.

            1. Access the GSP using the ctrl+b command from the local
                    console keyboard.
            2. Ping the LAN where the GSP files are located via the XD
                    command item #3 (LAN access PING)

                    GSP> XD
                    XD
                    Non destructive tests :
                       1. Parameters checksum
                       2. I2C access (get Power Monitor status)
                       3. LAN access (PING)
                       4. Modem selftests

            Type R to reset the GSP or Q to quit the diagnostic menu.

               -> Choice: 3

            Enter IP Address: Enter the IP address of the system where

            This test must pass on the server being used to supply the
            firmware files.

            3. Reset the GSP via the XD command (use the R option).
            This will free up any unallocated memory for the GSP update.

                    This command activates the upgrade mode. All
                    connections will be closed, the network will be
                    stopped, the session will be aborted and the modem
                    connection will be dropped.

                    Please, confirm your intention to activate the
                    upgrade mode (Y/[N]) : y

                    Enter source system IP address: Enter the IP address
                    of the system where the firmware files are located.
