Figure 3-21 System Page: Maintenance SW Upgrade
The system supports two software version, maintaining an Active (running) and an
Offline (standby) software versions (banks) that allow software upgrade with minimum
service interruption.
The software upgrade process consists of 3 steps:
1) Download. Transferring the new software file to the system (to the offline
software bank).
2) Upgrade. Switching the active status between the banks so the downloaded
software becomes active.
3) Accept. Use timeout to verify that the new active software performs as
expected and accept the upgrade to make it permanent (optional).
The SW Upgrade section displays the software versions currently resides in the banks
and their status (Active or Offline).
The software may be downloaded done using HTTP or an external FTP/TFTP/SFTP
server. Refer to server's configuration as defined in the File Transfer section.
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
SW File Name The name of the software file to download.
Accept Timeout [Sec] time out in seconds in which the new software should be
accepted. If the new software is not accepted within the timeout period, the
system will reboot and rollback to the previously active software. It is
recommended to use 600 seconds timeout whenever upgrading a software.
Scheduled Run Time [HH:MM] enter time of day (hours:minutes) that the SW
upgrade will be performed (and the reboot). Allows sending upgrade command
to the radio that will be scheduled to a later hour (maintenance window out of
working hours).
It is important that you set correct system time and date on your network for a
scheduled run time.
