5. Firewall, Failover and OOB Access 5.6.6 Multi-Carrier Cellular Support Some cellular carriers require the console server's cellular modem to be programmed with carrier-specific firmware to operate on their network. Some console server models are equipped with a reprogrammable cellular modem, allowing them to operate on more than one such carrier network. Note: Changes to the cellular modem firmware are unaffected by Tripp Lite firmware upgrades or factory erase/configuration reset operations. To switch carriers using the UI: • For devices with multi-carrier capability, the System: Dial: Internal Cellular Modem tab provides control over which carrier's firmware is installed on the modem. • Select the desired carrier and click the Change Carrier button to program the modem's flash with the carrier-specific firmware image(s). • The flashing process takes several minutes during which the cellular modem is unavailable. During this time, the page periodically refreshes with status information. Upon successful completion, the page displays the message: Cellular Firmware carrier change completed. Multi-carrier capable models ship with cellular modem firmware for each supported carrier pre-loaded onto internal non-volatile or USB storage. Periodically, new cellular modem firmware becomes available and is published on the Tripp Lite downloads site. Note: If your unit's cellular connection is operating correctly, there is typically no need to upgrade its cellular firmware. To download and apply new cellular firmware using the UI: • For devices with multi-carrier capability, the System: Firmware page shows a second section with local cellular firmware image status and a button to start the firmware update process. • The Cellular Firmware Status indicates the date of the last firmware download, and a cryptographic fingerprint that can be used to verify the local files' integrity through Tripp Lite Technical Support.. • Click the Check for Update button to step through the upgrade process. This process contacts the remote server and displays an update summary. 89

5.6.6 Multi-Carrier Cellular Support
Some cellular carriers require the console server’s cellular modem to be programmed with carrier-specific firmware to operate
on their network. Some console server models are equipped with a reprogrammable cellular modem, allowing them to operate
on more than one such carrier network.
Note:
Changes to the cellular modem firmware are unaffected by Tripp Lite firmware upgrades or factory erase/configuration reset
operations.
To switch carriers using the UI:
• For devices with multi-carrier capability, the
System: Dial: Internal Cellular Modem
tab provides control over which
carrier’s firmware is installed on the modem.
• Select the desired carrier and click the Change Carrier button to program the modem’s flash with the carrier-specific
firmware image(s).
• The flashing process takes several minutes during which the cellular modem is unavailable. During this time, the page
periodically refreshes with status information. Upon successful completion, the page displays the message:
Cellular
Firmware carrier change completed
.
Multi-carrier capable models ship with cellular modem firmware for each supported carrier pre-loaded onto internal non-volatile
or USB storage. Periodically, new cellular modem firmware becomes available and is published on the Tripp Lite downloads
site.
Note:
If your unit’s cellular connection is operating correctly, there is typically no need to upgrade its cellular firmware.
To download and apply new cellular firmware using the UI:
• For devices with multi-carrier capability, the
System: Firmware
page shows a second section with local cellular firmware
image status and a button to start the firmware update process.
• The
Cellular Firmware Status
indicates the date of the last firmware download, and a cryptographic fingerprint that can be
used to verify the local files’ integrity through Tripp Lite Technical Support..
• Click the
Check for Update
button to step through the upgrade process. This process contacts the remote server and
displays an update summary.
