System logging (syslog)
PTP 550 supports the standard syslog protocol to log important configuration changes, status
changes and events.
PTP 550 creates syslog messages for configuration changes to any attribute that is accessible
via the web-based interface, or via the enterprise MIB at the SNMP interface.
PTP 550 additionally creates syslog messages for changes in any status variable displayed in
the web-based interface.
PTP 550 creates syslog messages on a number of events (for example successful and
unsuccessful attempts to log in to the web-based interface).
PTP 550 can be configured to send syslog messages to up to four standard syslog servers.
Additionally, PTP 550 logs event notification messages locally. Locally-stored event messages
survive reboot of the unit, and are overwritten only when the storage capacity is exhausted.
The locally stored events can be reviewed using the web-based user interface.

Software upgrade
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based
interface, the SNMP interface, or cnMaestro management software.
PTP 550 software images are digitally signed, and the ODU will accept only images that contain
a valid Cambium Networks digital signature. The ODU always requires a reboot to complete a
software upgrade.
Note
Obtain the application software and this user guide from the support website BEFORE
warranty expires.
Caution
ODU software version must be the same at both ends of the link. Limited operation
may sometimes be possible with dissimilar software versions, but such operation is
not supported by Cambium Networks.
Caution
Take care when upgrading ODU software using the wireless link to a remote ODU.
Upgrade the remote unit first, reboot the remote ODU, and then upgrade the local
unit to the same software version.
