Uploading a new firmware version
Before performing a firmware upload, save the configuration as described in Saving
the system configuration on page 6-11.
To upload a new
firmware version, proceed as follows:
1
Go to http://www.motorola.com/ptp/support
and find Point-to-Point software
updates. Download and save the required firmware image (for example
PTP250-04-01.bin).
2
Select menu option Firmware Update. The Firmware Update page is
displayed (Figure 6-12).
3
Select the Method. The default is HTTP.
If FTP or TFTP is selected, additional attributes are displayed and must be
completed.
4
Select Browse. Navigate to the folder containing the downloaded firmware
image and select Open.
5
Select Start Firmware Upload and Yes to confirm. The upload progress is
displayed. On completion, the Upload Successful page is displayed (Figure
6-13).
To e
nsure that only authorized Motorola firmware is installed, the unit
checks the image for a DSA signature. If the DSA signature is missing or
incorrect, an error message is displayed and the upload fails.
6
Select Apply and Reboot.
7
The reboot process will take up to 120 seconds. During this time it will not
be possible to communicate with the unit. After the reboot, check that the
required firmware image is loaded and running.
