About this task
Important: The VRF
Smart Gateway software update process must be followed per the sequence identified
below. You cannot upgrade a VRF Smart Gateway already in the field running firmware
earlier than V1.2.0.266 directly to V1.2.1.54. The MUT tool must be used.
Note: VRF Smart Gateway units already in the field must follow
the following update process:
- If the VRF Smart Gateway version is at an earlier version than 1.1.0.833/.834, upgrade the Gateway to 1.1.0.833/.834 at minimum using the standard software upgrade process from the VRF Smart Gateway UI.
- If the VRF Smart Gateway is at 1.1.0.833/.834, use the MUT tool to upgrade the Gateway to the 1.2.0.266 build. The MUT Software Update Tool is required because there are OS migration and security fixes in the VRF Smart Gateway V1.2.0.266 software release. The standard software upgrade from a VRF Smart Gateway UI procedure is not possible.
- If the VRF Smart Gateway is at 1.2.0.266, then upgrade the Gateway to 1.2.1.54 by using the standard software upgrade process from VRF Smart Gateway UI.
Note: For more information on software upgrade
using the MUT, refer to the VRF Smart Gateway MUT User
Guide (LIT-12013562). For more information about software update from
the VRF Smart Gateway UI, refer to the VRF Smart Gateway
Users Guide (LIT-12012385).
To determine if an update is required, identify the current software version of the VRF Smart Gateway software. You can identify the current software version on the gateway UI home page, click About, then identify the version number listed for VRF Smart Gateway. If your gateway is not at VRFG-1.2.1.54 or later, then you need to update the software.
You can perform the update using a mobile device or computer, but you must complete the full process using the same device.
