7.2 Updating the system using an SSH connection
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.
Note: It is recommended to handle the update using the GUI. Using an SSH connection for updating the
system software should only be used as a backup procedure.
Procedure
1. Open an SCP connection to the device using the following settings:
File protocol SCP
Host name The IP address of the device. For more
information about configuring an IP address for
the device, see Initial access configuration using
the console.
Port number 22 - This is the default value. You can change this
later using the System > Administration menu in
the GUI.
User name and password Use root access for the update. By default there
is no separate password for the SSH connection
so you can use the password for the device.

2. Upload the .tar image file using the SCP connection. The file is a compressed image file that
contains the update package for example example-sysupgrade.tar. It is recommended to upload
this file to the /tmp folder.
3. After the upload is finished, use the following command to start the update procedure:
signedUpgrade.sh /tmp/example-sysupgrade.tar
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.
