Upgrading IWR Radio Firmware

To perform these tasks you need:

•

Direct or OTA concentrator connection

•

RadioShop

Specific instructions for updating the IWR firmware using RadioShop are in the 

RadioShop Getting 

Started Guide

.

Upgrading the Radio’s DCW

A Device Control Word (DCW) is a program written in the Gridstream programming language. 
DCWs execute within Gridstream devices and provide the ability to control the device. The DCW 
interacts with firmware and directs the radio to do things such as reboot or perform advanced 
functions. 

Verify with your Gyr representative that you are using the latest 
available version of the RadioShop application.

For instance, the MCCTIME.hex DCW contains the current version of MCC 
Helper. MCC Helper queries the radio to get its ID, and begins sending 
discovery packets to the assigned Take Out Point.
