Radio Recovery
This section describes:
• How to recover a PMP/PTP 450i and PMP 450m Series ODUs from configuration errors or software
image corruption
• How to override a PMP/PTP 450 Series ODUs from forgotten IP address and password to factory
default
Radio Recovery Console– PMP/PTP 450i/450b and PMP 450m
Recovery mode allows to restore IP address and password. Also, it allows new main application
software to be loaded even when the integrity of the existing main application software image has been
compromised. The most likely cause of an integrity problem with the installed main application software
is where the power supply has been interrupted during a software upgrade.
Note
When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert to
normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds. This
prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage.
Options in recovery mode are:
• Boot with normal operation
• Boot with default Canopy system software settings
• Load a previous SW image
The last most recent software images loaded to the board are retained. However the factory image is
not retained.
Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware Default Plug based on 450
Platforms Family).
Note
The unit may enter recovery console automatically, in response to some failures.
Note
Once the unit has entered recovery, it will switch back to normal operation if no access has
been made to the recovery web page within 30 seconds.
Use below procedure to enter in recovery console manually.
