Upgrade using the following steps. For additional details on using CNUT, see the CNUT help file
or click on the Help menu in the CNUT application. For additional details on using Prizm, see the
Prizm user guide. The CNUT help file and Prizm user guide are available for download from the
Canopy tab of http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software
.
1. Enter the password(s) for the root login accounts of all modules you are upgrading into
CNUT or Prizm. If taking advantage of the ability to use accounts other than root, enter
the accounts and passwords.
2. Refresh/Discover Entire Network to auto-detect all of your SMs and to display information
about your network elements.
3. Add the appropriate .pkg3 file(s) to the managed packages list. Depending on the
package downloaded in section 7.3, Obtaining Upgrade Packages, you will have one or
more of the following .pkg3 files:
 CANOPY95BUILDOFFICIAL_DES.pkg3
 CANOPY95BUILDOFFICIAL_AES.pkg3
 CANOPY95BUILDOFFICIAL_OFDM_DES.pkg3
 CANOPY95BUILDOFFICIAL_OFDM_AES.pkg3
4. Confirm that modules operating in the United States or its territories have the Region
Code on the Configuration => General page set to United States.
5. Confirm that P10 or P11 FSK 5.4-GHz APs or BHMs with a Region Code of United
States are not configured with Radio Frequency Carrier, Alternate Frequency Carrier
1, or Alternate Frequency Carrier 2 of 5590 through 5660 MHz, as these frequencies
are not available after upgrading to Release 9.5.
6. Confirm that P10 or P11 FSK 5.4-GHz SMs or BHSs with a Region Code of United
States are configured with center channels on the Custom Radio Frequency Scan
Selection List outside of 5590 through 5660 MHz.
7. Confirm that OFDM 5.4-GHz APs or BHMs with a Region Code of United States are
not configured with Radio Frequency Carrier, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1, or
Alternate Frequency Carrier 2 of 5600 through 5650 MHz, as these frequencies are not
available after upgrading to Release 9.5.
8. Confirm that OFDM 5.4-GHz SMs or BHSs with a Region Code of United States are
configured with center channels on the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List
outside of 5600 through 5650 MHz.
9. Consider rebooting APs on sectors you plan to update to eliminate any memory
fragmentation issues and ensure there is space to hold the new image.
10. Just before doing any updates, use Refresh/Discover to confirm that all SMs are active.
11. Choose the elements that you want to update at this time: a selection of elements,
a network branch, or the entire network. Most operators gain experience by upgrading
a portion of their network at a time, depending on network size and their own procedures.
12. Use Prizm or CNUT to confirm use of SM Auto-update, as appropriate. With SM Auto-
update, SMs are updated by their AP instead of by CNUT, which significantly reduces the
time needed for updating an entire network. In addition, SM Auto-update must be used to
update any SMs that have their Network Accessibility parameter set to Local, as these
SMs are not addressable by CNUT or Prizm over the network.
