We have one that reset to year 2000 just on midnight between December 24 and 25... |O UTC Time: 15:22:09 UTC Date: 05/15/2000 We have a quite old 8.0 firmware dating back to 2003 General Bootloader: 182-9003v008 Software Build: 182-9004v008 File System Version: 182-9005v008 I found out on some forums that many were updated to 8.2 and some to 8.4 firmware, but files are unavailable. Instead on microsemi extranet under login there's a 2008 update, but with no instructions and a weird bin file name inside the archive: Title Description Date NTS-200 (1.81) Software to upgrade the NTS-200 to 1.81 10/30/2008 182-9004v8[1].4ckpt1.81.zip |

anenni, can you give me more details of where to get that file? do you need a login? I've flashed the NTS-200 before so this is quite hopeful |

You just have to register on microsemi to time sync systems here: https://my.microsemi.com/AWelcome/HomeRNew.aspx Inside the zip there's only a single .bin file with the same name with square brackets, that seems weird, and no instrucrions at all. Old update instructions I found report other 2 files with extensions .fs and .bt ftp://anthonygregory.com/Upgrade%20to%20Firmware%20Version%208.x.pdf |

looking at your instructions, I'd just burn the .bin using the instructions you supplied above: >f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.bin Burn host is ready!!! >f100 bu (Note: enter “bu”, not “bub”) and skip the >f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.bt >f100 bub and >f100 bh <FTP IP Address> <Filename>.fs >f100 bf parts. since its not working anyway, not much to lose |

I thought of just skipping the other files, but the bin long file name with square brackets and 3 dots worries me a bit for ftp transfer and old filesystem naming limits. 182-9004v8[1].4ckpt1.81.bin I opened a case and waiting. If you want to experiment please post results. :) |
