You might want try this for RBS thats on v4:
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then update the RBR. Once the original RBS and RBR are updated the new RBS should show GOOD and no more Config Sync.
That's what I thought it may be. However, the original RBR and RBS are showing no FW updates available. and the new RBS just keeps showing as though it is checking for available updates. When I try to manually update, I have to log in to the satellite but it wont accept my password. I have tried both my unique password and the default, "admin/password" combo. See attached.
