753.0. "Decrepeater900 TM upgrade problem..." by PADNOM::PEYRACHE (Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France) Wed Feb 23 1994 06:30

  hi,

 i have some trouble to upgrade some Decrepeater900 TM from V1.0B to V1.0G using
Decnduplus for DOS.

  using the command listed in user manual:

   c:> decndup /u/f hubmodule /m 5 1.1.1.1 c:\firmware\detmm.bin

 all seems to be worked (no error message, all phases seems to be working)
but if you re-examined the microcode version after the upgrade ,the
Decrepeater900 tm stay in V1.0B.

 workaround :

  put directly a Ip address on the Decrepeater900 TM and using the command
below

 c:> decndup /u 1.1.1.2 c:\firmware\detmm.bin

 works as well.


 any restrictions/features/doc errors are already reported for this problem ??

 thanks for any comments.

753.1V1.X repeater need an address to upgradeQUIVER::SLAWRENCEWed Feb 23 1994 12:197
    The DECrepeater900TM V1.X firmware does not support upgrade via the IP
    address of the Hub - it must be given its own address at least long
    enough to upgrade it.  You found the right answer.  This should have
    been in the release notes - I'll check it out.
    
    The repeater engineering team is very activly working on putting
    hub-assisted upgrade capability into future releases.
