Software Version Loading Using TFTP

7The original sourcefile name of SW files is in the structure uX_Y_Z.bz, where u is the unit type (a for AU, s for SU) and X.Y.Z is the version number.

8destinationfile is the name of the file to be loaded. Use the SNMP write community <SnmpWriteCommunity>.bz to define the destination filename. The default SNMP write community is private. For example, to load the upgrade file a5_0_13.bz to an AU whose IP address is 206.25.63.65: tftp -i 206.25.63.65 put a5_0_13.bz private.bz

9When the loading is complete, the following message is displayed, indicating completion of the TFTP process:

10The unit decompresses the loaded file and checks the integrity of the new version. The new version replaces the previous shadow version only after verification. If verification tests fail, the loaded version will be rejected. Among other things that are tested, the unit will reject a file if either the file name or the version number matches the current Main versions. The unit will also reject a file designated for a different unit type, e.g. an AU upgrade file with the prefix a in the original file name will not be accepted by SUs.

11The FLASH memory can store two software versions. One version is called Main and the second version is called Shadow. The new version is loaded into the Shadow (backup) FLASH memory. To check that the new firmware was properly downloaded and verified, view the firmware versions stored in the FLASH, as follows:

a From the Main Menu, select 2 - Unit Control.

b From the Unit Control menu, select 5 - Flash Memory Control.

cFrom the Flash Memory Control menu, select S - Show Flash Versions. The following information is displayed:

NOTE

After loading a new SW version with any changes in the relevant Country Code, these changes must be applied by activation the Re-apply Country Code Values option in the Unit Control Menu. Note that following activation of the Re-apply Country Code Values option, all parameters that are affected by the Country Code (frequency parameters, transmit power parameters, DFS operation, modulation level parameters, burst mode parameters) revert to their factory default values and must be re-configured.
