Firmware Updater Tool​

 

Specialist 1 and above​ will no longer require Lead Specialists to update the firmware, if it is required. They can self-serve and complete this on their own.

Below are instructions on how to use the firmware updater tool. Use of the tool will allow you the ability to complete the firmware update yourself saving you time by eliminating the need to contact a Lead Specialist for assistance.  Please let us know if you have questions or concerns. 

Current firmware can be found here: http://conex/sites/callcenters/tcc/leads/Wiki/Latest%20Firmware%20(Modems%20and%20TiVo).aspx

Firmware can be updated at http://hsdtoolbox/tools/firmware/updater.php pick the Phoenix colocation first, because the other colocations might not have the firmware you need. Please do not manipulate the URL for this tool; the link provided is the only link and tool intended for use.

If firmware upgrade fails, you can attempt an alternate colocation.

How to use the Firmware Updater Tool

1.      Enter the 10.X.X.X IP address for the modem (can be found in Opus) into the CM IP field. Once the IP address is entered, below the CM IP field you’ll see Version. This field will display the modems current firmware version.

2.          From the Colo: dropdown menu, select Phoenix_New

3.          From the Filename: drop down menu, select the modem you are installing (DG1670 is Arris DG16XX etc.). Once the modem is selected, the field to the right will populate the name of the firmware the modem will be upgraded to. The first part of the filename is the updated firmware i.e. TS0901103BE

4.            Prior to hitting Upgrade! make sure the Try HTTP? box is checked.

5.            Click on the Upgrade! Button. Below the CM IP field, you will now the upgrade is in progress.

Tip: HTTP implies a faster upgrade route, which can complete within a few minutes (Average 5 mins).  TFTP is the alternate method and can take 20-60 minutes.
