4.5.4 SW Versions Control
The CPE can contain two SW versions:

Main: Normally, each time the CPE resets it will reboot using the version
defined as Main.

Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new
SW File is downloaded to the CPE, 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 CPE. It will be stored as the Shadow version.
2
Reset and run the unit from its Shadow version. Note that if the new SW file
was loaded from StarACS, the Run from Shadow operation will be performed
automatically.
3
If the unit succeeded to complete network entry, the Shadow and Main
versions will be swapped automatically: The currently running version will be
defined as Main and will be used each time the unit reboots. The previous
version is defined now as Shadow.
