5 Maintaining the Base Station

Upgrading the WMTS Software

; Note: In general, the application upgrade process is intended for trained technical

support people who have authorization to perform WMTS installation and upgrades.

The software/firmware upgrade includes update of the control, upstream and

downstream applications on the universal cards.

The upgrade process includes the following steps:

1. Edit and compile the Regtree.txt file, and download it to the WMTS as described in

Editing and Downloading the Regtree File on page 3.

2. Download the updated WMTS image files (refer to Downloading New WMTS Image

Files, on page 3).

3. Check the WMTS version (refer to Checking the WMTS Version, on page 3) to verify

that the download has taken effect.

4. Update the Base Station label (refer to Updating the Base Station Label on page 3).

Make sure you have the following equipment/software necessary for the upgrade:

 PC

 Crossed Ethernet cable (or straight if there is a switch between WMTS and the PC)

 The new build, downloaded from the FTP and copied to the PC hard disk.

Downloading New WMTS Image Files

This procedure is a continuation of the WMTS upgrade process (refer to Upgrading the

WMTS Software on page 3), in which the WMTS Configuration Tool is used.

To Download WMTS image files:

1. Open WMTSConfig.exe tool if it is not currently open. This tool is located in the

…\{build}\\Tools\WMTSConfig directory of the build.

2. In the main window of the WMTS Configuration Tool (Figure 20), perform the

following in the TFTP Software Upgrade section:
