NN40011-001 Issue 1.2 BCM450 Rls 6.0
Upgrading to BCM Rls 6.0
BCM450 Rls 1.0 or 5.0 can be upgraded to BCM450 Rls 6.0 via a simple
process. After performing the upgrade, it is recommended that you apply the
Factory Image to ensure that if a Software Reset is performed, the BCM does
not revert to its previous software version.
Pre-Upgrade Activities
Before commencing the upgrade procedure, it is recommended that you
perform the following actions:
Create a backup of your current BCM configuration. If the upgrade
process fails, you should be able to retrieve the configuration. Refer to
the
Backup and Restore Guide
for further information.
Obtain a keycode file with the upgrade entitlement. This will need to be
applied to the BCM prior to performing the upgrade.
Obtain the Upgrade and Factory Image files. If they are still zipped,
extract them to a suitable location from which the BCM can access. A
suitable location could be:
o
Your PC/laptop (i.e. the PC/laptop performing the upgrade via
Element Manager)
o
A network folder accessible to the BCM
o
A FTP server
o
A http or https server
o
A USB memory stick
Checking the Time Zone is Set Correctly
Before any upgrade is performed, you should check that the Time Zone has
been changed from the initial default setting, to the Time Zone of your locality.
If the Time Zone is still set to Factory Default, it will not be possible to apply
the upgrade files.
Use the following procedure to check the Time Zone setting.
1. In the Element Manager
Configuration
tab, open the
System
folder
and select
Date and Time
.
