Release 9.4.2 Release Notes

Issue 1, May 2009 Page 24

Information on the Motorola Prizm element management system is available at

http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/products/prizm/.

Prizm documentation and installers are available for download from the Canopy tab of

http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/software/.

.pkg3 Packages

Upgrades use package files whose name extensions are .pkg3. Earlier packages (.pkg or

.pkg2 files) cannot be used with CNUT Release 3.12 and Prizm Release 3.1. A key aspect of

.pkg3 packages and the tools that use them is that they support upgrading modules using

module accounts other than root and therefore do not require a module to have an account

named root.

7.1.4 Special Planning for European Operators using 5.4 GHz Radios

Operators with modules set to a Region Code of Europe are well-served to ensure they are not

using any channels with center frequencies of 5590 to 5660 MHz inclusive (in the weather notch)

before upgrading. A sector currently using 5590 to 5660 MHz inclusive will complete the upgrade

successfully and existing SMs will register and function, but since these channels are not

available on equipment placed on market in Europe from July 1, 2008, adding SMs or replacing

SMs or APs becomes problematic.

Operators with modules set to a Region Code of Europe may need to perform channel planning

and coordinated change of the transmitting channel on APs and BHMs before the upgrade.

7.2 OBTAINING AND PREPARING CNUT OR PRIZM

Use either CNUT Release 3.12 or later or Prizm Release 3.1 with Patch 7 or later for the

upgrade.

7.2.1 Obtaining and Preparing CNUT

1. From the Canopy tab of http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/software/, download

 Network Updater Tool Release 3.12 for Windows

 Network Updater Tool Release 3.12 for Linux

 Network Updater Tool Release 3.12 Release Notes

2. Install CNUT Release 3.12 on Windows or Linux using the CNUT release notes.

3. If you do not have a previously stored network archive file within CNUT, add your Canopy

infrastructure elements (APs, BHs, and CMMs) to the network root and Move and Modify

the elements until you have captured your network.

IMPORTANT! Pay particular attention to the connectivity that you establish in the

network tree. This should be the connectivity as viewed at the point from where you connect

to the network to perform the upgrade. If you are connecting at your POP, this will be the

same as your network hierarchy. If you are connecting at some point other than your POP, it

should reflect connectivity from that point. When CNUT discovers the network and when it

steps through the infrastructure elements during an upgrade, it relies on the connectivity

information you enter in the network tree.
