Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline

Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline
This procedure assumes the Avalanche Enabler is already installed on the MX7 Tecton and is already in communication with
the Avalanche MC Console.
Part 1 – Bootstrapping the RMU
1. Install the RMUCEbt package into the Avalanche MC Console. Do NOT include the Reboot option as part of the con-
figuration (i.e. the Reboot button in the "Reboot Options" branch must be unbolded).
2. Enable ONLY the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console and update the devices. The RMU is downloaded
and automatically installed.
3. Disable the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console.
4. For each device, double-click on the device to open the Client Controls dialog box.
5. Check the Delete Orphaned Packages checkbox and click the Update Now button.
6. After the sync completes, uncheck Delete Orphaned Packages and close the dialog box.
Part 2 – Installing Packages
1. Enable the RMUCE package in the Avalanche MC Console.
2. Enable all remaining packages and send them down. It is important that you include the new OS package in this group
(be sure to include the Enabler). If the radio is to be managed remotely, it is important to include the radio package in this
group so that after the reboot the radio can automatically associate. If the radio package is not sent, the device loses
connection to the network and manual configuration of the radio parameters is required.
3. Set the Reboot setting for the OS package to Auto.
4. After all packages are downloaded (this may take several minutes) the
downloaded packages. If the radio package was downloaded, the
5. After the RMU finishes installing all the packages, the device is automatically coldbooted (assuming the Reboot setting
was set to Auto in Step 3).
6. After the Device completes the coldboot, the RMU is autoinstalled by the OS and the previously downloaded packages
are restored. Assuming at least one package has registry settings that were restored, and that package was set to
reboot (either auto or prompt), the RMU then performs an automatic warmboot.
7. After the warmboot, the device is configured.
8. If the device will no longer be monitored by Wavelink Avalanche, you may remove the Enabler to eliminate boot up
delays, if desired. Even if the Enabler is removed, the installed packages and their configurations continue to be
restored with every reboot by the RMU.
