NOTE:
See “Upgrading the Firmware” on Page 93
for details
on setting up the TFTP server.
Upgrading the Firmware
From time-to-time MDS offers upgrades to the transceiver firmware.
One version of the firmware provides core software resources for all
transceiver models. Loading new firmware into the unit will not alter
any privileges provided by Authorization Keys and does not require the
transceiver be taken off-line until you want to operate the unit from the
newly installed firmware image.
You must use the embedded Management System for all firmware activ-
ities, including uploading from a TFTP server.
File transfers can be initiated through any of the three Management
System gateways:
•
Terminal-Emulator
—Use a terminal emulator program on your
PC, such as HyperTerminal, connected directly to the trans-
ceiver’s
COM1
port via a serial cable.
•
Telnet
—Text-based access to the Management System through
a network connection.
•
Web Browser
—Connect to the transceiver using a Web browser
on a local PC connected directly to the radio’s LAN port or
associated network.
