Chapter 3 - Layer 2 Command Set - PHY and MAC MINT (“mint” command)
Alvarion BreezeNET B130/B300 GigE 54 Operational User Manual
In fast mode the unit will wait for the potential source of the firmware to work
with new version within two hours with no reboots. Only after two hours the
request will be sent.
In normal mode the waiting period is 7 hours; in slow - 24 hours
By default, passive normal mode is turned on.
For immediate firmware upgrade there is a special option “force”. The command
is not saved in the configuration and acts as a signal for all units to send their
requests for upgrade regardless the work mode and information accumulation
time period.
If during the process of new firmware distribution an error occurs (or link loss) the
passive unit will stop the upload process and will resend its request after getting
an announcement.
Examples:
The unit is in the active mode sending announcements about new firmware
version. If units with newer firmware version are found on the network, the
upload request will be sent in no less than 7 hours after uninterrupted work of the
announcement source:
mint rf5.0 -airupdate active normal
The unit is the passive mode waiting for the source of the latest firmware version
to work with it during no less than 24 hours:
mint rf5.0 -airupdate passive slow
The operator decides to immediately upgrade all the units with new firmware:
mint rf5.0 -airupdate force
The unit is not participating in AirUpdate process. It does not send
announcements and does not generate requests for upgrades:
mint rf5.0 -airupdate disable
