SW/FW update

SW/FW update of the PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway unit is carried out over the Ethernet interface. The update is

based on a so called ‗tarball‘ file that contains the SW/FW images that define the specific product version (for

example a DVB-T/H modulator, an ATSC modulator or a MediaFLO modulator). The typical size of the ‗tarball‘

is about 16MByte.

The update procedure is as follows:

1. Download the ‗tarball‘ file from the FTP site to a directory on your local network or to the PC that you

are using explicitly for managing the PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway unit or insert the CDROM that

contains the tarball into a CDROM drive on this PC.

2. Connect to the web service interface of the PT2000 Terrestrail Gateway unit as described in Section D,

Web Service Operation—Subsection 1. Login to the Web Server, on page 31.

3. In the lower left corner of the web service graphical user interface you will find the [System] button.

Click this button to open the system menu.

4. In the system menu select the function [SW Upgrade]. See Section D, Web Service Operation—

Subsection 3- Web Service - Operation Principle - Access to System Parameters on page 41 for further

details about access to the system menu.

5. In the Maintenance section of the System menu select Software Upgrade

6. Select [Browse] and navigate to the location of the downloaded ‗tarball‘ file

7. Select the file ‗tarball.tgz’ and click [Upload]

8. The loading of the new SW/FW should now start automatically. The progress can be monitored from

the Web service interface. A number of steps including uploading, unpacking and verifying and deleting

files will pass automatically (the processing time is several minutes).

9. When the loading of new SW/FW is completed the unit will automatically reboot. After the reboot the

new SW/FW version is active.

10. The active SW/FW version can be verified after the reboot via the [About] function in the [System]

menu.
