3 Upgrading to Release 11.0

Upgrade first to R11.0 then enable RADIUS settings if desired (or not). In most cases operators
will want to upgrade to R11.0, then trial a friendly sector with RADIUS, then deploy RADIUS to
their entire network.

R11.0 does not require using RADIUS. If upgrading a network from an old release, upgrading to
R11.0 is recommended, even if not using RADIUS, so as to take advantage of features and fixes
through R11.0.

Use version 3.20.16 of the Network Updater Tool (CNUT) to upgrade to Release 11.0. Version
3.20.16 supports distribution of certificates to SMs.

CNUT and its release notes can be downloaded from the Motorola wireless broadband support
web site:

http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software/


Modules in operating sectors should be on Release 9.5 or 10.5 before upgrading to avoid
upgrade issues.
