upgrade password in the Atlas radios is upgrade. Users may change the upgrade password within the radios using the
password upgrade command. Firmware release files from Trango Broadband Wireless will always be names with the
default upgrade password of upgrade. If the user changes the upgrade password in the radio, then the firmware file name
must be changed as well in order to upgrade the radios.
Upgrade Procedure
1. Place firmware files in easily accessible path in your computer.
2. In order to provide the most stable wireless conditions possible during the upgrade process it is recommended to
set the radio speed to the minimum (6 Mbps) in both the MU and RU. Turn autorateshifting off during the
upgrade.
3. Turn on the radio’s tftp daemon
4. From computer’s command prompt, tftp the firmware file into the radio using binary mode.
5. After file is successfully tftp’d to the radio, the radio will automatically reboot itself and load the new firmware
IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER CYCLE OR INTERUPT THE REBOOT PROCESS IN ANY MANNER.
WAIT AT LEAST THREE MINUTES TO ENSURE AUTOMATIC REBOOT COMPLETION. LOSS OF
POWER DURING THE REBOOT SEQUENCE WILL RESULT IN A CORRUPTED/INCOMPLETE
FIRMWARE LOAD WHICH WILL REQUIRE REFLASHING AT THE FACTORY.
6. Repeat process for other radio
7. Repeat process for web file.
