3.6 Base Station Software Upgrade
One of the Base Stations’ key features is that it has been designed to support a “Software Defined
Radio” (SDR) architecture. The distinct advantage is that a Base Station can be remotely upgraded with
additional features and capabilities as these are developed. The Base Station maintains two software
versions/images that may be selectively enabled, thus providing a fail-safe software upgrade procedure.
The software upgrade process may be performed from the CLI, the Web Interface, as well as from the
PureView EMS. In this section, the software upgrade procedures using the Web Interface is detailed.
The first step in the process is to copy the software to a directory on the PC which is running the FTP
server. Please ensure the PureWave directory structure is kept intact. Copy the software image, as
provided by PureWave, to the assigned home directory of the FTP server (Figure 116).

The next step is to confirm and setup the FTP Server. There are a number of free commercially available
FTP Servers that can be used (refer to Figure 117, which is a 3CDaemon). Ensure that the FTP Server is
running.
