A.2 Upgrading Micro Controller Software from 4.0.x.x

The micro controller unit within the microBTS contains upgradable software, which from

time-to-time may be upgraded.

This procedure provides two methods for upgrading the micro controller software. An “auto-

matic” upgrade (preferred method) is accomplished through the use of a GUI type interface.

The “manual” procedure relies on linux commands to accomplish the upgrade task. The

“manual” upgrade method should only be used when circumstances preclude the use of the

“automatic” upgrade and should be performed by an experienced linux operator.
