Yes, 

Connect to the RBS web pages using there IP addresses in a web browser and log in and send the RBS FW file using the RBS web page. I did this yesterday. No issues. 

 

Once ALL RBS FW files are sent, send the RBRs FW file. Once the units are back ONLINE. Power OFF The RBS and RBR for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first then the RBS.
