17 Upgrading FreeSpeak II™ wireless systems
This chapter describes how to upgrade FreeSpeak II beltpacks and antennas supported
by Eclipse HX.
Supported FreeSpeak II beltpacks and antennas may be upgraded using an installed and
configured copy of EHX and an active Eclipse HX matrix, or via a USB connection from
within EHX.
Note:
This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software
and hardware devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see
3 Quick reference: Upgrading to Eclipse HX .
17.1 Upgrading FreeSpeak II Beltpacks and Antennas
centrally using EHX
FreeSpeak II beltpacks and antennas can be upgraded centrally via EHX in a similar
fashion to upgrading panel software. This allows multiple beltpacks or antennas to be
upgraded simultaneously.
The download of a FreeSpeak II application requires an *.fww format file, which is
located on the drivers USB. This must be placed in a location that is accessible by the
installed EHX application.
Note:
The Eclipse HX v9.1 contains all the firmware files required for upgrading a FreeSpeak II
beltpack or antenna.
The download of a beltpack application requires:
•
An operational Eclipse HX matrix with the beltpacks registered, connected and powered.
•
A suitable EHX configuration (with the correct IP address configured, if an Ethernet
connection is used).
Once the beltpack *.fww format file is downloaded to the Eclipse HX matrix, all
beltpacks of the same type will be upgraded at the same time through an automatic
download from the matrix to the beltpack. The beltpack
*.fww file will be stored so that
if any beltpack subsequently connects to the matrix, an upgrade can still be performed.
The download of an antenna application requires:
•
An operational Eclipse HX matrix with the antennas configured, connected and powered.
•
A suitable EHX configuration (with the correct IP address configured, if an Ethernet
connection is used).
Once the antenna *.fww format file is downloaded to the Eclipse HX matrix, all
antennas of the same type will be upgraded at the same time through an automatic
download from the matrix to the antenna.
