Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Remote Over-the-Air Download to SUs
You can upgrade your SUs to Version 1.3 from the Base Station Configuration Software Console of the
BSU. Normally, all SUs in the network are upgraded at the same time. However, if one or more SUs fail
to receive the download code correctly, the upgrade is aborted and a second attempt must be made. SUs
that have been upgraded successfully ignore reprogramming of the same codes.
To download remotely to SUs:
1. From the BSU 1.4 or 1.5 Console, confirm that SUs have established a link with the BSU by issuing a
dspActiveSU command. Make note of the SUs in the network.
2. Select the Download menu.
3. Select Remote Firmware; a Download — File Selection window is displayed.
4. From the Look In search field, select the binary file to be downloaded (PMP_SU_release1-3.mot)
from the appropriate directory. The BSU Console automatically processes the selected binary codes
and, once finished, displays an output of “Elapsed [time]” in seconds.
5. Let the SUs re-enter the network. It usually takes no more than five minutes for the SUs to enter the
network from the start of the download. The following messages are displayed at the BSU Console
for each SU as it enters the network:
º 118 Received NetEntry Request from Eth<SUs Ethernet address>
º 119 NetEntry completed: Assigned terminal ID <ID#>, IP<SUs IP address>, and VLAN ID
<SU VLAN ID#> in VLAN mode.
6. Issue dspActiveSU to verify that the SUs have entered the network successfully. If an SU fails to
enter the network, use the local download procedure in the following section.
º If the SU was correctly upgraded, the display reads ver 20021300.
º If the SU failed to upgrade and the link was restored, the display most likely reads ver
200212B0.
7. If any SU that re-entered the network failed to upgrade to Version 1.3, repeat steps 2 through 6, or
upgrade the failing SUs using the “Local Download to SUs” method.
Local Download to SUs
You can use this method to upgrade SUs that have not been deployed or have failed to successfully
download using the remote over-the-air procedure. Using this procedure, individual SUs are upgraded
through their Ethernet/Power cable. This procedure requires the Tsunami Multipoint Base Station
Configuration Software application be loaded on the PC attached to the SU (SU 1.,4 or 1.5 Console). The
window label appears as Tsunami Multipoint Subscriber Configuration Software.
