H Appendix: MDR / Orion FTP Firmware Upload
Firmware can be uploaded to MDR and Orion DIUs using FTP uploads as well as by
using the "CVF Loader" or NMS software, available on the software CD or from the
distributor.
Note the following:
Username : anonymous
Password : guest
The relevant MIB info is in the "mdrmteConfiguration" GROUP
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.5 mdrmteFirmware
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.5.1 mdrmteFTPServerStatus
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.5.2 mdrmteFlashNewFirmware
By Default for mdrmteFTPServerStatus : the Digital Indoor Unit FTP server is active
By Default for mdrmteFlashNewFirmware : the upgrade is immediate (it can also be
timed)
We recommend that the user ALWAYS verify that the new version has indeed been
uploaded and is being used by the DIU. In this case one checks the following
element:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.4.3 mdrmteIUFirmwareVersion
This OID (object ID) is part of:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.4 mdrmteGeneral, part of the "mdrmteConfiguration" GROUP
When updating the Digital Indoor Unit firmware by means of FTP, please note that the
choice of IP address is very important. You must always choose the IP address of the
interface "closest" to you. In other words if you are using Ethernet to connect, then use
the IP address of the Ethernet Interface.
NOTE If you are updating the firmware on the remote unit, use the IP address of the
"overhead" PPP link - NOT the Ethernet interface of the remote unit. For example use
192.168.4.3 when uploading to the far side and using the bridging configuration. If by
mistake you use the wrong address, you will create a "half-established" FTP session,
and NO FURTHER SESSIONS will be permitted until the session times out after some
minutes.
