1.0 Introduction
A handy tool that I have found is the Canopy Updater Network Tool, or CNUT for short. Its seems
to be indispensable and required to manage the firmwares of the Canopy AP, SM and BH units.
The Motorola Canopy CNUT program is a simple Java program that allows a network administrator
to manage and upgrade their canopy networks.
This program works with both the PMP and PTP canopy modules, allowing a administrator to
manage 100, 200 and 300 series subscriber modules, access points and back hauls
A small menu is available at the top of the program, to manage the CNUT software, packages and
discovered devices.
Right click on the "Network Root" tick box and click the Add Network Element selection. The
"Network Element" screen will appear. Here, you will have to enter the SNMP user name,
password, community and IP addresses.
Once this is all filled out, just press the OK button. This will be needed for the auto discovery
process of the entered IP addresses and will population the main CNUT device list.
To get the auto discovery to work once you have added you access point, you will need to select the
Update menu to the top of the CNUT software. Then select the "Update Entire Network Root"
option and the program will start to auto populate the SM list.
You will also need to make sure that you have your correct packages selected in the CNUT
program.
Just click on the Update menu option in the main screen and select the "Manage Packages" option
to bring up the package manager.
You will need to add the firmwares to the list first. Then you can select the required packages you
wish to upgrade to.
As with most firmwares, be careful on what you upload to the unit. Just click close when you are
finished selecting.
Once you have discovered the SM and BH units, you can proceed to manage the firmwares of the
units and gather useful auditing information on the currently connected units.
To upgrade the access point or back-haul units, tick the units in the screen and select the "Update"
menu, then the "Update selected network element" sub-selection.
Once they are upgraded, you can then start the auto upgrade feature. Select the Update" menu and
then just select the enable APs for SM autoupdate sub-selection of the menu.
Then the units should start automatically updating to the access point or back-haul current
firmware.
