Manage over-the-air (OTA) updates
The u8 antenna requires factory-installed software to operate, which is pre-installed at the factory. Users can manage
OTA updates as new software releases in the Kymeta Access portal.
11.1
OTA update process
1.
The antenna checks on start-up to determine if an OTA update is available. The antenna performs this check
through secure web services calls to Kymeta Access portal.
2.
If the antenna is eligible for an update, a package is downloaded and installed. If the antenna is not eligible, no
action is taken.
The u8 operates normally during the OTA update process. The newly installed software version takes effect on the next
restart of the antenna. You will experience a brief internet outage during the restart.
✎
It is not possible to monitor the status of the OTA download. However, you can verify the update has completed
by the software version number displayed in the top right corner of the web-based user interface.
Refer to
700-00139-000 Kymeta™ u8 antenna software user guide
for details.
If the OTA update download is interrupted, the u8 retries up to 10 times to successfully download the update package.
You will not see any indication of the activity. If after 10 attempts the download does not complete, it retries on the next
restart.
If the OTA update install is interrupted, the software reverts to the original version, and the antenna retries installation
on the next restart.
11.2
Software rollback
Contact
if you want to roll back to a previous software version.
