I have had 3 out of 20 8000 UE’s lock up when remote upgrade is used for pac 0. 
No problems with 7000 UE’s at all. On the 8000 UE’s it is like their flash got 
wiped but never loaded correctly. They light up on boot but never establish an 
Ethernet link. When I try to use the fallback IP or the default IP I never get 
a connection. The 3 that I have had problems with are on their way back to 
Telrad engineering to see what happened.

Hi,

 

So far only 1 CPE8000 UE that did not come back after a firmware update.  
Normally a hard reboot would fix it, but in this case we had to replace it.

I have that CPE8000 on my desk and need to see what the status is from the LAN 
side.  Thanks for the info on defaulting it, will try it.

We've had a helluva time upgrading UE firmware over the air.  It was worse with 
Wimax.  On Wimax it was more like 75% of the time we would lose the channel 
scan table and have to go on site to add it back in.  It became SOP to leave 
the operator password at default so we had the option of having the customer 
log in and fix the scan table for us.

 

I think we've had more success since going to LTE.  However, failed firmware 
updates was one of the incentives to set up a dedicated management bearer.  I 
was hoping it would help with these things.  We haven't pushed out an update 
recently enough to say whether it helped.

Does anybody else experience a ten to fifteen percent failure rate when 
upgrading UEs?  The behavior is, you upgrade the firmware, reboot, and the 
device doesn’t come back.  Logging into the UE’s management from LAN, you’ll 
see it’s stuck in ‘device init.’  Defaulting the unit and rebooting allows it 
to boot and attach.

 

We’re not using the residential gateway device or anything, and the only config 
we put in is device name, SNMP and ACS settings.  Sometimes we hardcode the 
client’s device in the DHCP server, to turn on DMZ to allow port forwarding, 
but that doesn’t seem to be a causal factor.
