2.5 Performing firmware update
Performing firmware update using
Kermit
client by
Ethernet interface
is recommended for firmware versions
2.0.0 or later. For firmware versions older than 2.0.0, use
serial port connection
with
ATOMControl
software.
ATOMControl
is a program designed for monitoring and controlling Norsat’s ATOM Series of BUCs and
SSPAs. This software and user manual are available on the Norsat ATOM Series website.
Caution: Always back up the settings of the BUC or SSPA before updating firmware using the latest
version of ATOMControl software. Refer to ATOMControl User Manual for how to back up and restore
device settings to and from an ATOM configuration file.
Firmware Update Using Kermit Client by Ethernet
Firmware version 2.0.0 and later running on the BUC or SSPA support firmware update by
Ethernet
interface using
Kermit
client software.
Tera Term
and
HyperTerminal
are recommended as clients for
updating firmware on the BUC or SSPA.
The following illustrates how to configure
Tera Term
for firmware image upload. Configuring and operating
other Kermit clients are similar.
