NOTE
If the definitions for a specific SU in the Software Upgrade Settings page contradict the relevant definitions in the Software Upgrade page, the definitions in the Software Upgrade page will be ignored.
The Settings section includes the following components:
Component |
Description |
MBS Files |
Read-only tables that display the current SU SW Files available in the Micro Base Station (AU Files are not applicable for a Micro Base Station). |
File |
Select the upgrade file(s) from the list of available files for one or several of the relevant device types: • MBS • SU You can select either one of the relevant files available in the MBS, or From Disk. If From Disk was selected, click on the Browse icon to open the Open dialog box, enabling you to select a file from your PC. |
Operation |
The operation to be performed for each device type. The available options are: • None • Reset • Load to NPU (not applicable for MBS) - Loads the SU SW file to the Micro Base Station. Note that if the Micro Base Station already holds 4 files of the relevant type, one of them must be deleted (see "Files in NPU/MBS" ). If the selected file already exists in the Micro Base Station, the operation will be skipped. • Load to Shadow - Loads the selected file to the Shadow memory of the applicable device(s). Applicable only if a file was selected for the relevant device type. If the file already exists in the device, no action will take place. For SU, the file will be first loaded to the Micro Base Station (see above), and than loaded from the Micro Base Station to the SU. • Run from Shadow - Perform the Load to Shadow operation (see above), reset it and reboot using the Shadow version. Note that for SU, because the process is controlled by the Micro Base Station, the SU will continue running from the Shadow version after reset. If the specified file already exists as the Shadow version (meaning that previously a Load to Shadow operation was executed for this SW File), the only operation to take place will be to reset and run from Shadow. If the specified file already exists as the Main version, no action will take place. • Set as Main - Perform the Load to Shadow and Run from Shadow operations (see above), then swap the files and sets the running file as the new Main file. |
