Software Update
There are differences in updating the software on the base station compared to
updating the software on the CPE (the page references are listed below).
Note: The Software Update zip file (found on the Wave Wireless web site under the
Support + Firmware link) will contain a document describing the recent changes and
any other additional information needed to perform the update. The zip file will also
include the update (.wwn) file to perform the update.
After you have unzipped the file, make sure you extract the update file (.wwn) file to
your desktop. Then, follow the directions under the Software Update section for the
particular router.
• For updating the software on a base station, see Software Update, page 4-16.
• For updating the software on a CPE, see Software Update, page 5-11.
• For updating the software on a point-to-point router, see Software Update for
Point-to-Point Primary or Secondary Routers, page 6-13 and Updating the
Software on a Local Router and Remote Router: Primary Mode Only,
page 6-15.
• For updating the software on a mesh router, see Software Update, page 7-14.
Proxy Mode Warning
Warning! Do not use Proxy mode when performing the update. Update from the location (host) where
you are connected. If you are not directly connected, then you are proxied to another host and the
update will not work. There is a limitation of proxy mode that restricts a transaction to 60 seconds.
If the update takes longer than 60 seconds, which it frequently does, the update will be stopped.
How do you tell if you are directly connected to the host? Look in the Address bar on your Internet
browser. If you only see one IP address in the Address bar, you are directly connected. However, if
you see two IP address in the Address bar, as shown in the following figure, then you are in "Proxy" mode
.
If you are not able to make a direct connection to a base in Star Mode or a primary station in point-
to-point mode, then set up a static route through a CPE or secondary station in order to establish a
"direct" connection.
