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

anenni:
You just have to register on microsemi to time sync systems here:

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

b0bd:
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

anenni:
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. :)
