SW/FW update

SW/FW update of the PT2000 Terrestrial Gateway product is carried out over the ethernet interface. The

update is based on a so called ‗tarball‘ file that contains the SW/FW images that define the specific product

version (for example a DVB-T/H modulator, an ATSC modulator or a MediaFLO modulator). The typical size of

the ‗tarball‘ is about 16Mb.

The update procedure is as follows:

1. Download the ‗tarball‘ file from the FTP site to a directory on your local network or to the PC that you

are using explicitly for managing the PT2000 Terrestrial Gateway unit or insert the CDROM that

contains the tarball into a CDROM drive on this PC.

2. Connect to the Web service interface of the PT2000 Terrestrial Gateway product as described in

Section D, Web Service Operation--1. Login to the Web Server, page 31.

3. In the lower left corner of the Web service graphical user interface you will find the [System] button.

Click this button to open the system menu.

4. In the system menu select the function [SW Upgrade]. See Section D, Web Service Operation—

Subsection 3- Web Service - Operation Principle - Access to System Parameters, on page 39, for

further details about access to the system menu.

5. In the Maintenance section of the System menu select Software Upgrade

6. Select [Browse] and navigate to the location of the downloaded ‗tarball‘ file

7. Select the file ‗tarball.tgz’ and click [Upload]

8. The loading of the new SW/FW should now start automatically. The progress can be monitored from

the Web service interface. A number of steps including uploading, unpacking and verifying and deleting

files will pass automatically (the processing time is several minutes).

9. When the loading of new SW/FW is completed the unit will automatically reboot. After the reboot the

new SW/FW version is active.

10. The active SW/FW version can be verified after the reboot via the [About] function in the [System] menu
