Restoring a Configuration

1)Login to the base station interface (see page 16), and go to the Configuration screen.

2)Click Browse and select the configuration file for this base station.

3)Click Load, then reboot the base station.

4)When the base station finishes rebooting, check the configuration settings to be sure they loaded correctly.

Updating the Firmware

You can update the firmware on base stations and handsets remotely via TFTP.

Setting Up Firmware Folders

The TFTP server must be correctly configured before you can update the firmware on any components, and folders and firmware filenames must use specific naming conventions.

The server must be identifiable by an URL or IP address (IPv4).

The server must allow both transmitting and receiving on the firmware folder (so base stations can upload copies of old firmware before updating).

Folders in the firmware path must have or TFTP compatible names, e.g., they must not contain spaces, question marks, colons, semicolons, commas, etc.

In the firmware update path directory, create the directories Beatus (for base station firmware files) and Pegasus (for handset firmware files)

Place the new base and handset firmware files in their respective directories. The name of the firmware file will be in the following format (where {version number} is any 3-digit positive integer):

Base station files

Handset files

 

 

BeatusSW_4181_v0{version number}.fwu

PegasusSW_4181_v0{version number}.fwu
