Configure the CAP-1000 management port ‘The CAP-1000 has a dedicated management (MGMT) port (2/1) on the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) module that is designed to be used exclusively for management traffic such as GUI connections, SNMP, Telnet/SSH, and SCTE messaging. While management may also be conducted through the GigE video ports, using the management port for management activities ensures isolation from the video transport network. The management port (2/1) defaults to 169.254.2.1. Note: While newer versions of the DSP board have two physical management ports WwW (2/1) and (2/2), they are a bonded pair and share a single IP address. The second port (2/2) serves only as a redundant physical port. Refer to the CAP-1000 Software Guide for information about the DSP module. > To configure: 1.

You can upgrade the CAP-1000 device using the CherryPicker Element Manager (GUI) or use the command line interface (CLI) The Element Manager GUI option is available for CAP-1000 devices configured in Independent mode, CPR Primary mode, CPR Backup 1:1 mode, or CPR Backup N:1 mode. This option is only available for software version 4.0 or greater. Using the Element Manager, you can upgrade the CAP-1000 device in the Setup > System > Device Control tab. If using the installer locally, ensure that the latest software build is available on a local directory on your PC. If using the installer remotely, you can select either the SCP or TFTP for remote updates. ‘The CLI method can be used with CAP-1000 devices in any configuration; Independent, CPR Backup 1:1, or CPR Backup N:1 modes. The CLI method uses the Linux command shell and is supported by all software versions. Itis typically used when the CAP-1000 device is running software version 3.3 or older, as the GUI upgrade method was not supported in these older versions. Before upgrading CAP-1000 CherryPicker software Before upgrading the CherryPicker software, please review the following important, guidelines: "Perform all steps of the upgrade procedure during a regularly-scheduled maintenance operation. This includes installing the software and rebooting the unit. ™ Clear the cached Element Manager in Java Web Start before each upgrade. ™ To complete the upgrade procedure, you'll need to reboot the CAP-1000 device. During this time, streams will not be output until the reboot is complete. | When a CAP-1000 CPR Backup 1:1 or CPR Backup N:1 device is in Covering mode, you cannot perform a software update = Ifanad server is used, you must stop the ad server before upgrading the CherryPicker software.
