4.2    Remote Update

 

The  Apollo  series  support  OTA  field  upgrades  of  the  Apollo  series  resident  application.  An 
over the air TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over a UDP/IP connection. 
A replacement  file  is  then  transferred  from  a  server to  the  Apollo series  and  that  file replaces 
the previous application image. 

 

4.2.1   Auto Execute

 

The Auto Execute Utility copies the contents of file system.exf into system executable RAM 
and executes it from there. This file is the factory default application. Another file named 
custom.exf can be loaded into the file system.

 

 
Auto Execute will look first for a file named update.exf and load and execute that in place of 
custom.exf if it exists. If update.exf executes successfully, the previous copy of custom.exf is 
deleted from the file system and update.exf is renamed to custom.exf. 

 

4.3    Power Modes

 

The  Apollo  series  devices  support  several  power  modes  that  are  set  by  the  power  mode 
command.  In  full  power  mode  the  cellular  subsystem  will  maintain  a  persistent  cellular 
connection whenever service is available as well as an IP connection where available. 
Any hardware or software reset will interrupt any power mode and return the device to full 
power mode. In summary, the conditions permanently restoring full power mode include:
