CNUT functions
The Canopy Network Updater tool has the following functions:
• Automatically discovers all network elements
• Executes a UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs.
This command is both secure and convenient:
o
For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that you
specify in the Configuration page of the AP/BHM.
o
For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in
the APs/BHMs to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server
performs any of the update commands.
•
CNUT supports HTTP and HTTPS
• Allows you to choose the following among updating:
o
Your entire network.
o
Only elements that you select.
o
Only network branches that you select.
• Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script that:
o
You define.
o
Cambium supplies.
• Configurability of any of the following to be the file server for image files:
o
The AP/BHM, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP
messaging
o
CNUT HTTP/HTTPS Server, for upgrading via SNMP commands and monitoring via
SNMP messaging. This also supports an option to either set the image order
specifically for this file server or to allow the AP to determine the order.
o
Local TFTP Server, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via
UDP messaging. This supports setting the number of simultaneous image transfers per
AP/BHM
• The capability to launch a test of connectivity and operational status of the local HTTP, HTTPS and
TFTP file servers
• An interface that supports efficient specification of the proper IP address for the local file server(s)
where Network Updater resides on a multi-homed computer
