4.7.4 Update Gateway

You can remotely upgrade the CPE’s firmware by going to the Home screen, under the tools title, click

Update Gateway. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 19. TI will provide two different images;

one image is the kernel (operating system) and the other image is the file system.

To upgrade the firmware, click browse, find the firmware file to download. Make sure this is the correct

file. Click on upgrade firmware (as shown in Figure 19). Once the upgrade is complete the CPE will

reboot. You will need to log back onto the CPE after the firmware upgrade is complete.

The firmware upgrade should take less that 5 minutes to complete. If it takes longer than 5 minutes,

something has gone wrong.

Note: Do not remove power from the CPE during the firmware upgrade procedure.

4.7.5 Ping Test

Once you have your CPE configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can Ping the network. You can get

to the Ping web page by going to the Home screen, under the Tools title, click Ping Test. Type the target

address that you want to pin. If you have your PC connected to the CPE via the default DHCP

configuration, you should be able to Ping the network address 192.168.1.1. If your ISP has provided their

server address you can try to ping the address. If the pings for both the WAN and the LAN side complete,

and you have the proper protocols configured, you should be able to surf the Internet.

By default when you select ping test, the CPE will ping itself 3 times. As shown in Figure 20, the CPE

passed the Ping test; this basically means that the TCP/IP protocol is up and running. If this first Ping test

does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is not loaded for some reason; you should restart the modem.
