Checking the Required Firmware Versions and
Software Features
Check that the firmware version of all devices (radio bodies and control
head) is the same. If not, upgrade the appropriate devices by connecting the
control head directly to a radio body (see
). For the firmware version and programming
application version to use, see
“Hardware and Firmware Compatibility” on
. For more information, click the Help [?] button from the
programming application’s
Download
dialog (Tools > Download).
Check that both radio bodies have the software feature for Multi-Body
Support enabled (default factory configuration). If you are installing dual
heads, both radio bodies will also need the software feature for Multi-Head
Support enabled. For more information, click the Help button from the
programming application’s
Optional Features
dialog (Tools > Optional
Features).

Downloading Configurations
Every device (head and
body) in a TM8260 radio
system must have a
system configuration
table (SCT) downloaded,
with unique NTID
(network ID) addresses
(
). This enables
all devices to operate
together. If there is a
problem with the SCT or
a device does not have a
unique NTID, then the radio will display “Duplicate NTIDs”.
You may need to remove link J4 and assemble the remote interfaces before
downloading NTIDs. For example, you may be using a hand-hand control
head. For more information, see:
■
■
“Assembling the Body Remote Interfaces” on page 22
■
“Assembling the Control Head Interface” on page 32
.
If you need to download NTIDs to devices in an already installed system,
make sure you first disconnect the radio connecting cable (item
h
in
).
