7.1 Version Information
Provides information about the serial numbers, software and hardware versions
installed. This information is very helpful when contacting customer service.
7.2 Auto-Calibrate
Unit receiver will enter auto-calibration mode. Receiver will return to a normal
operating state within 30 seconds for GE products, 90 seconds for FE products and
120 seconds for AR products.
CAUTION! For the first auto calibration after unit installation, it is necessary to
perform the auto-calibration by initially establishing a fiber connection to a powered-up
unit, as described in the corresponding product installation manual. If a copper-only (i.e.
no fiber) installation is intended, the first auto-calibration operation must still be
performed by temporarily using a fiber switch or fiber loopback cable. This fiber
loopback should be removed immediately after completion of the auto-calibration.
7.3 Restart
Performs a soft restart of the unit. This will activate the latest changes submitted from
the Setup page. If no changes have been made it will maintain the current
configuration settings. A restart will not stop data transfer, but will make the
management agent inaccessible for approximately 1-2 minutes.
7.4 Update Software
To obtain the latest version of the software, go to the download section of the
BridgeWave website at http://www.bridgewave.com/support. You will find a list of
software updates available for your product, where the latest update is on the top of
the list. The download consists of a dated zip file that includes the product software,
the corresponding user manual and the release notes for the package.
Download the zip file and extract the files into a new folder on your hard drive.
Access the BridgeWave unit you want to update, go to the Maintenance page and
provide the unit with the path to the (2) .bin files on the hard drive one at a time and
click the download button. The file download, file integrity check and installation will
take approximately two minutes for file <SysProgLdr.bin> and 10 minutes for file
<BwProg.bin>. When it has completed, the browser will display a success or failure
indication. If no indication is received after ten minutes, please restart the download
process.
