Chapter 1: Product description System management
Full capability trial period
A full capability trial period is available for units that are licensed for “Lite” (up to 125 Mbps) or
“Mid” (up to 250 Mbps) data throughput capability. This trial allows the ODU to operate with
“Full” capability (up to 450 Mbps) during a 60 day period, reverting to the Lite or Mid capability
afterwards. The trial period can be started, paused and resumed from the web interface.
Software upgrade
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based
interface or the SNMP interface.
PTP 650 software images are digitally signed, and the ODU will accept only images that contain a
valid Cambium Networks PTP digital signature. The ODU always requires a reboot to complete a
software upgrade.
Note
Obtain the application software and this user guide from the support website BEFORE
warranty expires.
Caution
ODU software version must be the same at both ends of the link. Limited operation
may sometimes be possible with dissimilar software versions, but such operation is
not supported by Cambium Networks.
Recovery mode
The PTP 650 recovery mode provides a means to recover from serious configuration errors
including lost or forgotten passwords and unknown IP addresses.
Recovery mode also allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of
the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an
integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been
interrupted during an earlier software upgrade.
The ODU operates in recovery mode in the following circumstances:
• When a checksum error occurs for the main application software image.
• When a power on, power off, power on cycle is applied to the ODU with the power off period
being around 5sec.
Recovery mode supports a single IPv4 interface, with IP address 169.254.1.1. Recovery mode does
not support IPv6.
