Read through these important items before you use the updateOUI utility 

 

The updateOUI utility includes the -r option that system operators can use if they 
ever have to roll back from an upgrade to PowerTV OS 3.x. When used with the -r 
option, the updateOUI utility changes the 00:02:DE identifier back to 00:01:A6 or  
00:40:7B, whichever is appropriate. DHCTs with the 00:0A:73 or 00:0F:21 identifiers 
are not affected, however, because the installation process of these DHCTs cause the 
DHCTs to install with the 00:02:DE identifier. 

 

System operators must run the updateOUI utility under the following 
circumstances: 

 

System operators must run the updateOUI utility whenever they upgrade to 
PowerTV OS 3.1 or later. 
Important!  DHCTs with the 00:01:A6 or 00:40:7B identifiers will not be capable 
of two-way services if system operators do not run the updateOUI utility after 
upgrading to PowerTV OS 3.x. 

 

Once system operators have upgraded to PowerTV OS 3.1 or later, they must run 
the updateOUI utility again whenever they add new DHCTs to the system that 
use 00:01:A6 or 00:40:7B, as their sign-on identifiers. 

 

System operators must run the updateOUI utility (with the -r option) if they ever 
need to roll back from an upgrade to PowerTV OS 3.1 or later.
