Task 3: Upgrading the software version and using CNUT
This task consists of the following procedures:
Checking the installed software version on page 2-37
Upgrading to a new software version on page 2-37
If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless
connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible.
Checking the installed software version
To check the installed software version, proceed as follows:
1
Select Home menu tab General .
2
Note the installed Software Version (near the top of the page):
3 Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1-9 ) and find Point-to-
Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest PMP 450 software version (for example 13.0) is
the same as the installed Software Version.
4 If the software needs to be upgraded to the latest version, perform Upgrading to a new software
version on page 2-37 .
Upgrading to a new software version
PMP 450 modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT). The Canopy Network
Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software and firmware upgrade process for a Canopy radio,
CMMmicro, or CMM4 (but not its 14-port switch) across the network. This eliminates the need for an
administrator to visit each radio in the network (or each AP while using the Autoupdate feature) to upgrade
the modules.
This section includes an example of updating a single unit before deployment. System-wide upgrading
procedures may be found in the
CNUT Online Help manual, which can be found on the Cambium support
website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1-9 ).
