Configuration with USB Memory Stick – Chapter 10
Starting with firmware version 2.12a there are two possibilities to use a USB stick to
configure the radio modem:
1.
Transfer of a configuration file from the USB stick to the radio modem during a
default reset
initiated by the reset button.
2.
Permanently inserted
Config-USB-Stick
on which both the configuration and
the firmware for a radio modem is stored.
10.1 Transfer of a configuration file during a default reset
If a
default reset
is performed via the reset button, the radio modem checks whether
a USB stick is available. If yes, a file
Default.cfg
is searched in the root directory of
the USB stick. If this file exists, this configuration will be applied to the radio modem
after the restart.
10.2 Application for the Config-USB-Stick
It is possible to prepare USB memory sticks in such a way that they are recognized
by the radio modem as
USB-Config-Sticks
during the boot process. On the USB-
Config-Stick there is a config file with a complete setup and if necessary also a file
with a specific firmware for the radio modem.
The goal is to be able to quickly replace a defective HG G
76343/4/5 with a different
76343/4/5 by simply plugging the USB Config Stick from the defective radio
modem into the replacement device. The replacement radio modem checks during
the boot process whether there is a firmware file on the stick, an whether it differs
from the firmware in the replacement radio modem.
If so, the firmware from the stick is first transferred to the replacement radio modem
and flashed. After the reboot, the config file of the USB Config-Stick is used for fur
-
ther operation. The replacement radio modem will work with the same firmware and
the same configuration as the original HG G
10.2.1 Initializing a Config-USB-Stick
Initialization of the USB memory stick is done via the MC-Config program. This func
-
tion is enabled by a parameter specified as an argument when the MC-Config pro
-
gram is started.
InitUsbConfigStick
(case sensitive!)
In order to start MC-Config with this parameter you can generate a shortcut to the
MCConfig.exe
file. in the properties of this shortcut the parameter can be added to
the target like so:
c:\....\MCConfig.exe InitUsbConfigStick
When started this way the additional selection
Init USB Config Stic
k appears in the
context menu of MC-Config.
