7 Updating the Operating System
The system software, including the operating system and the software stack
can be upgraded using either the GUI or through an SSH connection.
7.1 Updating the system using the GUI
Before you begin
Before updating the system software, the device must be connected to the network and powered on. Make
sure that all antennas are properly connected before powering on the device. The device must also have a
previously configured IP address. For more information, see Configuring initial access using the console.
Procedure
1. Log in to the GUI by opening a browser and entering the IP address of the device. Log in with
root access.
2. Select the System > Backup / Flash firmware menu.
3. Under Flash new firmware image select the image file. The image file is a .tar file that contains
the update package, for example example-sysupgrade.tar.
Note: It is recommended to keep the Keep settings box checked in to avoid an unnecessary loss
of configuration during the update.
Figure 43: The Backup / Flash firmware menu
Note: A backup of the /etc/its.cfg file must be made because the license-key
parameter will reset in this file after the update.
4. Click the Flash image... button to upload the selected image file. The upload progress can be
tracked in the browser and after it is finished, the MD5 hash will be displayed to validate that the
uploaded file was not corrupted during the transfer. The update process takes approximately 2 minutes.
5. After the update process is finished, the device is accessible again from the web interface.
Note: After the update, the default password is reset for root access.
Results
You have successfully updated the system software of the device.
