Reprogramming Menu

The AP transceiver has two copies of the firmware (microprocessor code) used for the operating system and applications. One copy is active and the second one is standing by, ready to be used. Using the Reprogramming Menu , you can upload a new release into the inactive position and place it in service whenever you desire.

See Upgrading AP Firmware for complete details on downloading new firmware code into the transceiver via TFTP.

TFTP Host Address—IP address of the host computer from which to get the file. [Any valid IP address]

Firmware Filename—Name of file to be received from the TFTP server. Verify that this string corresponds to the TFTP directory location. May require a sub-directory; for example: entranet/bkrfto-1_0_0.gpk. [Any 40-character alphanumeric string]

TFTP Timeout—Time in seconds the TFTP server waits for a packet ACK (acknowledgment) from the transceiver before suspending the file transfer. [10 to 120 seconds; 30]

Retrieve File—Initiate the file transfer from the TFTP server. Placed into inactive firmware position in the transceiver non-volatile memory. [Y, N]

ImageVerify—Initiate the verification of the integrity of firmware file held in the radio.

Image Copy—Initiate the copying of the active firmware into the inactive image.
