UPGRADING FIRMWARE

NOTE: When Upgrading to Firmware Version 2.0 over the Powerline, you must upgrade
the Modems first, then upgrade the Gateway. Failure to do so in this order will result in
loss of communication between the Gateway and Modem.

Upgrades to Powerline MU firmware for the Gateway and the Modem are made available
along with the Canopy upgrade tool. You should become familiar with the tool. Firmware
upgrades and the information about the CNUT upgrade tool are available on the Canopy
website:

www.canopywireless.com

.

To upgrade the firmware via CNUT, use the following procedure:

Add the Modem to the network, using Edit

Add Canopy Elements to Network Root.

Enter the IP Address of the Modem in the "Add Network Element" window.

Discover all the Modems in the network, using View

Refresh/Discover Entire

Network. During the discovery process, if the
Enter Password pop-up dialog box appears,
select Cancel.

Add the appropriate Installation Packages to the
Network Updater, using
Update

Manage Packages.

Select the device to be upgraded by selecting the
check boxes next to the device. Upgrade the
device, using Update
