The original sourcefile name of SW files is in the structure uX_Y_Z.bz, where u
7
is the unit type (a for AU, s for SU) and X.Y.Z is the version number.
destinationfile is the name of the file to be loaded. Use the SNMP write
8
community <SnmpWriteCommunity>.bz to define the destination filename.
The default SNMP write community is private. For example, to load the
upgrade file a5_0_13.bz to an AU whose IP address is 206.25.63.65: tftp -i
206.25.63.65 put a5_0_13.bz private.bz
When the loading is complete, the following message is displayed, indicating
9
completion of the TFTP process:
Download operation has been completed successfully
The unit decompresses the loaded file and checks the integrity of the new
10
version. The new version replaces the previous shadow version only after
verification. If verification tests fail, the loaded version will be rejected. Among
other things that are tested, the unit will reject a file if either the file name or
the version number matches the current Main versions. The unit will also
reject a file designated for a different unit type, e.g. an AU upgrade file with
the prefix a in the original file name will not be accepted by SUs.
The FLASH memory can store two software versions. One version is called
11
Main and the second version is called Shadow. The new version is loaded into
the Shadow (backup) FLASH memory. To check that the new firmware was
properly downloaded and verified, view the firmware versions stored in the
FLASH, as follows:
From the Main Menu, select 2 - Unit Control.
a
From the Unit Control menu, select 5 - Flash Memory Control.
b
From the Flash Memory Control menu, select S - Show Flash Versions.

The following information is displayed:

NOTE
After loading a new SW version with any changes in the relevant Country Code, these changes
must be applied by activation the Re-apply Country Code Values option in the Unit Control Menu.
Note that following activation of the Re-apply Country Code Values option, all parameters that are
affected by the Country Code (frequency parameters, transmit power parameters, DFS operation,
modulation level parameters, burst mode parameters) revert to their factory default values and
must be re-configured.
