Are all of these that you are talking about 8000s?

We did a round of updates on our network Saturday. I had 4 of them fail the 
update, but the units were still online responding to pings, only I could not 
get to the Reset page to reboot them remotely. 3 of them, after a hard reboot, 
were able to come back up and get updated. 1 was "bricked" by the failed update 
and had to be replaced, the on site tech was unable to get a login page with 
static set, and wasn't getting a DHCP lease from it.

I have started rebooting the CPE each time before doing the firmware update 
remotely. I am not sure if it helps or not though.

Interestingly, I had a tech on site where I tried to update remotely for him. I 
was unable to, but he was able to just fine on the LAN side. It seems to 
indicate the file is corrupting in transit? We are having the installers update 
the latest version when they install.

I attempted another one today remotely that was detaching (signal strength 25). 
It didn't come back up. An hour later I had them unplug, wait for 10 minutes 
and reboot it. It still wouldn't reconnect, and is now  a scheduled service 
call.

We have just started deploying the CPE8000 series and so only have ~50 in the 
field. 10% firmware failure rate seems about right. I'm nervous to upgrade the 
firmwares now '~'

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.

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.

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.

Matt C.

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.
