Downloaded Version
The version, if any, that has been downloaded from the server but not yet
installed. Upon installation, this version will become the Installed Version.
Reset Type
The level of reset required by the component in order for the Installed
Version to become the Active Version. A cold (hard) reset powers down
and powers back up the component. A warm (soft) reset simply reboots
the software or firmware in the component.
Software Upgrade Overview
The PTP 820 software installation process includes the following steps:
•
Download
–
The files required for the installation or upgrade are downloaded from a remote server.
•
Installation
–
The downloaded software and firmware files are installed in all modules and components of the
PTP 820 that are currently running an older version.
•
Reset
–
The PTP 820G and PTP 820F is restarted in order to boot the new software and firmware versions.
Software and firmware releases are provided in a single bundle that includes software and firmware for all
components and card types supported by the system, including RFUs. When you download a software bundle, the
system verifies the validity of the bundle. The system also compares the files in the bundle to the files currently
installed in the PTP 820G/ F and its components, so that only files that need to be updated are actually
downloaded. A message is displayed for each file that is actually downloaded.
Note
When downloading an older version, all files in the bundle may be downloaded, including files that
are already installed.
Software bundles can be downloaded via FTP or SFTP. After the software download is complete, you can initiate
the installation.
Although
[RFU]
RFU software is included in the standard installation bundle, the current software version is not
automatically updated in the
[RFU]
RFU when an installation is performed. To upgrade the software in an RFU, you
must perform the upgrade manually, per slot. This enables you to manage IDU and
[RFU]
RFU software versions
separately.
Note
Before performing a software upgrade, it is important to verify that the system date and time are
correct. See
Setting the Time and Date (Optional)
Downloading and Installing Software
You can download software using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or SFTP.
