▪Package to Transmit—Identifies which of the two available firmware images (1 or 2) will be sent to the associated Remotes.
▪Broadcast Images—Starts transmission of the selected firmware package to all associated Remotes.
▪Status—Shows either Not Started, or the progress (in percent) of a firmware image transmission. At the end of a transmission, the word Complete is displayed.
▪Broadcast Remote Reboot—Causes a reboot of all associated Remotes to the new (offline) firmware image. This image then becomes the active firmware file.
The bottom of this screen shows the software versions of the OIB and TOR boards inside the TS Wireless radio. The OIB is the interface board section of the transceiver; the TOR is the radio section of the transceiver. Both sections use different portions of the firmware package; thus the difference in the version numbers.
Remote Database Menu
The Remote Database Menu shows several parameters related to the associated Remotes. It is updated about once every eight seconds.

▪UnitID—The unit ID of the associated remote.
▪Conn State—Shows whether or not the Remote is connected to the AP.
▪AgeOut—Number of minutes until the entry expires and is removed from the table. Each AP maintains a table with the addresses of the devices it communicates with. The AgeOut countdown is restarted to its default setting every time a message to or from that device is detected. If no traffic with that device occurs, and it does not respond to a final handshake request, it then “ages out” of the table. An expired Remote must reconnect before it is again included in the table. (See Database Timeout on the Wireless Network Menu.)
▪TX Pkts—Number of packets sent to this Remote.
▪RX Pkts—Number of packets received from this Remote.
