6. If desired, the status of the transfer during reprogramming may be
displayed by typing
reprogram status
.
7. The TFTP Server and radio will notify you when the programming
is complete.
Verification and Reboot
1. To verify the integrity of the new firmware enter
boot
to determine
which image is currently active. This command will respond as
follows:
boot: Image 1 is Active or, boot: Image 2 is Active
If the radio responded to the
boot
command with
Image 1 is Active
,
enter the “image verify” command,
iverify 2
, otherwise, enter
iverify 1
. The radio will respond indicating whether or not the image
has been verified as being a valid file, it will not determine if the
contents are complementary to the other firmware image. If the
image does not verify, try downloading the firmware again into the
radio.
NOTE:
The following paragraph describes rebooting the radio. This
action will disrupt the communications link.
2. Once the image has been verified, the radio must be rebooted using
the new firmware. This is done by entering the command
boot 1
or
boot 2
, where the
1
or
2
corresponds with the image number used
with the
iverify
command above.
3. Once the radio has rebooted and Flash Utility screen displays the
LEDR>
prompt, the firmware can be downloaded or copied into the
other image. Often, copying the firmware from one image to the
other can be faster than performing a second download. To copy the
firmware over to the other image, simply enter
icopy
. The radio will
prompt you for confirmation (
y/n
) and then begin copying.
8.4 OPTION 3: Uploading Firmware from a Remote
Server via Ethernet
Setup
Connect the LEDR radio’s
ETHERNET
connector to network which has
a PC connected with the desired LEDR firmware on its hard drive. The
“network” can be a local area network, a wide-area network or any IP
network that can connect the two units.
The computer hosting the firmware image, must be running a TFTP
server software. If not, install, launch and configure the MDS TFTP
Server software found on the LEDR Utilities disk. The setup configura-
tion is shown in
.
