Broadcast Remote Reprogramming Menu

Broadcast reprogramming is used to upgrade the firmware of all radios in a network. If your network contains a mix of radios with 2.x and 3.x version firmware, it is normal to see the status message “Some Remotes Failed Programming”.

For example, if you select 2.x firmware to reprogram, only the older remotes will accept the image; if you select 3.x firmware, only new remotes will accept the firmware. Release 3.x firmware can only be installed on radios equipped with 2 MB expanded flash memory. Release 2.x is compatible only with older radios having 1 MB flash memory.

Use the Manage Selected Remote Submenu on Page to determine which radios were not upgraded.
