Using the DLU Process
Before initiating this option, be sure that the module that you are upgrading has been
configured with an IP address. If the module is not configured with an IP address,
select the
Set In-Band Interface IP Address

) from
the

to set an IP address.
Do not use the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch Hub Manager’s IP address to upgrade the
DECrepeater 900GM.
When you select the
Downline Upgrade
option (option
[10]
) from the
DECrepeater 900GM INSTALLATION MENU
, the initial setup screen display
appears (see the following example display). This screen identifies the option and
alerts users not to interrupt power during the downline load.
