PMP 450i and PTP 450i Configuration and User
Task 3: Upgrading the software version and
using CNUT
Task 3: Upgrading the software version and using
CNUT
This task consists of the following procedures:
• Checking the installed software version on page 56
• Upgrading to a new software version on page 56
If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first
using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise,
the remote end may not be accessible.
Always refer to the software release notes before upgrading system software. The
release notes are available at:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/PMP450i
Checking the installed software version
To check the installed software version, follow these instructions:
Procedure 5 Checking the installed software version
1
Click on General tab under Home menu.
2
Note the installed Software Version (under
Device Information
):
3
Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page xvi) and
find Point-to-Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest PMP 450i
software version is the same as the installed Software Version.
4
To upgrade software to the latest version, see Upgrading to a new software
version on page 56.
Upgrading to a new software version
PMP 450i modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool. The
Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software and
firmware upgrade process for a Canopy radio, CMMmicro, or CMM4 (but not its 14-
port switch) across the network. This eliminates the need for an administrator to
visit each radio in the network (or each AP while using the Autoupdate feature) to
upgrade the modules.
