Configuration Upgrade Notes
Notes
v5.1.0 to
v5.1.0B1
Web pages must be updated to
point to correct server, and
NTP must be enabled. This
firmware upgrade can be
performed successfully if it is
scheduled immediately and is
not interrupted.
In this firmware version, there
was no configuration upgrade
support for the Vanguard 3000
client.
In these firmware versions, the
Vanguard did not acquire the
time from the GPS module. To
be set to the correct time, the
unit must be set up to connect
to and acquire current time
from an NTP server. In these
and the following firmware
version, the default
DeviceOutlook (then, COLT)
were set as:
coltota.calamp.com:20500
coltota.calamp.com:20511.
Both servers should now be
specified as:
ota.calamp-ts.com: 20511,
but upgrading does not
automatically update the
existing settings.
v5.1.0B to
v5.1.1
The file is downloaded, but the
upgrade script stops before
installation begins. When the
unit reboots, DeviceOutlook
thinks the upgrade completed
successfully, but likely has not.
This can be performed
successfully if it is scheduled
immediately and the
configuration file is hand-
crafted to anticipate
differences in the layout. Table
entries can corrupt the
parameter file. SNMP and GPS
IP addresses are handled
incorrectly.
v5.1.1 to
v5.1.2
This firmware upgrade can be
performed successfully if it is
scheduled immediately and is
not interrupted.
Same as above.
See above.
v5.1.2 and
up
Upgrades can now be
scheduled as future upgrades
become available, and the
Vanguard will reschedule if
reset. Take precautions to plan
for updates and ensure the
Vanguard power is not
interrupted during updates.
Configuration upgrades can be
scheduled successfully in the
future. DeviceOutlook 1.6.1
only exposes “safe”
parameters that can be easily
corrected. SNMP and GPS IP
addresses are handled
correctly.
DeviceOutlook replaces the
former device and network
management components,
CalAmp Enterprise Services
(CES), of the CalAmp On-Line
Telemetry (COLT) system
platform.
