RCU Firmware Upgrade for CCU

This procedure is required in order to allow older (pre-AISG 2.0) RCUs to be switched to AISG 2.0/3GPP mode.

Before you start, please call the support line at 214 238-8812 in order to obtain the proper firmware files,
86010025_BL02-02-30.bin and 86010025_86010118_FW02-02-30.bin. Save those files to your computer.

Go to the Details page of the RCU that needs to be upgraded to check the current version level of the firmware. The
obvious indication that the current firmware is out of date is the lack of an asterisk * to the right of the Sector ID field
(the empty red box). The version numbers shown also indicate that the RCU is not currently able to be switched to
3GPP, because it is not in the 02-02-XX range.

Click the Software Update button to continue.
