2.17 Updating the Link CX-24 Software
To update the Link CX-24 software, perform the following procedures at both ends of the radio link. Note
that when you are updating Ethernet models of the Link CX-24, you should update the far-end Link CX-24
first, and the near-end Link CX-24 second to ensure that you do not lose radio communications with the
far end.
Note: This procedure will take down the radio link until the update procedure is completed at both
ends of the radio link.
1. Connect your web browser to the Link CX-24:
• For a DS-3 Link CX-24, connect your web browser-equipped Craft PC or desktop PC to the Link
CX-24 as described in Section 2.10.1.
• For an Ethernet Link CX-24, make sure that your web browser-equipped Craft PC or desktop PC
is connected to the same network as the Link CX-24.
2. Log into the Link CX-24 website by opening location http://<IP Address>/ in your web browser.
• For a DS-3 Link CX-24, your web browser-equipped Craft PC or desktop PC is directly connected
to the Link CX-24.
• For an Ethernet Link CX-24, make sure that you log into the Link CX-24 at the far end of the radio
link and update it first.
