Upgrade the Software
Gateway field upgrades are typically performed via CMS, which is the gateway remote management system.
The following procedure describes how to perform a local upgrade; however, because the gateway’s
configuration information is not retained when performing a local upgrade, upgrading via CMS is the
preferred method. Perform the local upgrade only if you cannot access the broadband link to upgrade via
CMS, or the target release is not published on CMS.
Note: This procedure assumes that you have been provided with a software image via CD, or
downloaded it from an ftp server.
Note: Do not disconnect the power cord from the gateway during an upgrade. Doing so will erase
all gateway information, and cause the gateway to fail.
1. Open a browser and enter http://home/upgrade. The following page opens.
2. Click CONTINUE. In the provided field, enter the location of the software image or click the Browse button
and navigate to the location where the image is stored. Click
UPGRADE NOW.
3. The gateway firmware is upgraded. The gateway will then reboot.
