3.5.3.2 SW Version Control
The BTS can contain two SW versions:
Operational: Each time the BTS resets it will reboot using the version defined as Operational.
Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new SW File is downloaded
to the BTS, it will be stored as a Shadow version, replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new SW version includes the following steps:
1 Download the new SW File to the BTS. It will be stored as the Shadow version.
2 Reset and run the BTS from its Shadow version. Note that at this stage, if a reset were to occur, the
BTS will return to the previous Operational version.
3 If you want to continue using the new version, swap the Shadow and Operational versions. The new
(currently running) version is now defined as Operational, and will be used each time the BTS reboots.
The previous version is defined now as Shadow.
Each SW version includes two identifiers:
SW File, which is the name of the downloaded SW file. This name does not necessarily include clear
identification of the SW version number.
SW Version, which provides the SW version number.
The SW Version Control menu includes the following options:
