New page

== tbautoinstall application ==
The application ''tbautoinstall'' is used to install packages on TMedia units. It allows:
- Listing installed packages
- Deleting packages
- Validating packages
- Installing new packages
- Installing new licenses
- Change next boot directory
- Reboot TMedia units
- Flash TMedia hardware with another package (option hidden by default, use with extreme caution!)

== Installing the tbautoinstall binary ==
The tbautoinstall binary is found in the "cmc" archive for your platform. For example:
tbcmc_2.7.4_i586-win32_release.tgz
It's found in the following directory (replace "i586-win32" below by your platform)
tb/apps/tbautoinstall/release/i586-win32

== Getting the TMedia package files to install ==
The packages to install on TMedia units are found in the foolowing archive:
tb640-adapter.release.zip
You must unzip this archive in order to use it with tbautoinstall.

== Launching tbautoinstall ==
You can launch the tool by double-clicking on it, or with some command-line arguments.
Use "tbautoinstall --help" to get available arguments.

== Installing a package ==
* Launch tbautoinstall
* Press 'i'
** Select the TMedia unit to install on (using left or right arrows)
** Choose if adapter must be rebooted automatically after installation or not
** Enter the path of the folder that contains all TMedia binary files (from tb640-adapter.release.zip, directory 'tb/bin')
** Enter the path of the folder that contains all license files that you obtained from TelcoBridges support team
*** Note: This is optional if installing a package with the same major version as the actually running package (2.6.Y over 2.6.X for example).
=> The selected package will be installed on the TMedia unit, and optionally the tool will identify the most recent matching licenses from the specified folder (for base board and mezzanines) and install them

== Flashing a package ==
Flashing a package does more than simply installing a package. In addition to installing the package on the TMedia unit's file system, it also updates some non-volatile memory, the "safe boot" flash, and some re-programmable hardware devices.
'''Warning: Flashing a TMedia unit should only be performed by TelcoBridges support team, and for a good reason, as failure may render the unit inoperable'''
* Launch tbautoinstall from the command-line using "-flash" option ("tbautoinstall -flash")
* Use the 'i' command as explained above.
=> The TMedia unit will first be installed, rebooted, then flashed and rebooted again.

== Install multiple TMedia units simultaneously ==
You can simply use the 'i' command again while other units are already being installed.

== Install all TMedia units simultaneously ==
* Press 'p' to select the package to auto-install
** Enter the path of the folder that contains all TMedia binary files (from tb640-adapter.release.zip, directory 'tb/bin')
** Enter the path of the folder that contains all license files that you obtained from TelcoBridges support team
*** Note: This is optional if installing a package with the same major version as the actually running package (2.6.Y over 2.6.X for example).
* Press 'a' to enable "auto-install" mode
* Any TMedia unit not already running the selected package version will be updated automatically
