5.2 Upgrading XP-DSM Transponder Firmware
There are three methods to upgrade XP-DSM firmware: manually setting SNMP parameters
remotely in a MIB browser, setting them through the local port (see Section 4.0 ), and
automatically in the DSM Setup File (to build a Setup File, see Section 3.4 ). Once the
firmware download process has been initiated the XP-DSM will download the DSM firmware
from the specified TFTP server. The XP-DSM remains fully functional during the upgrading
process and will automatically reset when the upgrade is finished.
The most recent firmware version files are available at
www.Alpha.com>Broadband>Status
Monitoring>DSM>XP-DSM Tech. Support .
