Task 4: Upgrading software version
This task consists of the following procedures:
• Checking the installed software version on page 6-25
• Upgrading to a new software version on page 6-26
Ensure that the correct units are upgraded, as units cannot easily be downgraded
afterwards.
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.
Load the standard (non-FIPS) software image for 800-04-00 or later before loading a FIPS
software image.
Checking the installed software version
To check the installed software version, select menu option Status. The System Status
page is displayed. Software Version is in the CMU section (Figure 120).
If FIPS capability is required, check that the installed software is FIPS validated, as
indicated by a -
FIPS prefix to the Software Version, for example:
FIPS-PTP800-04-10
Go to the support web page (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 2) and find Point-
to-Point software updates. Check that the latest software version (for example 800-04-10)
is the same as the installed Software Version.
If the software needs to be upgraded to the latest version, perform Upgrading to a new
software version on page 6-26.
