4.1 Configuring the Network
MinePhones and the TFTP server need to be on the same network and IP address range. The simplest
configuration is for phones and a TFTP server to be associated with an AP, which involves the following:
1. Setup a server to run DHCP. Alternatively statically configure the IP settings of the TFTP server and
MinePhones.
2. View each phone's current IP address by going to Menu > Network > Network Info.
3. Test the connection by pinging the phone from a PC that is connected to the network.
4.2 TFTP Server Setup
There are many TFTP software packages on the market that can be used with the MinePhone.. The
following procedure is an example to setting up tftpd32 server software:
1. Install and launch TFTP server software. Open the settings configuration panel.
2. Set the Root Directory where files are hosted, for example, c:\tftp.
3. Enable TFTP server.
4. Disable TFTP client and DNS Server.
5. Enable DHCP Server and SNTP Server if these don't already exist on the network.
6. Restart software for changes to take effect.
If other TFTP server software is used, refer to the product's user guide for setup details.
4.3 Firmware files
When the MinePhone connects to a TFTP server, it will request for several files to update the firmware:
•
miphone_firmware_site.txt — A text file that informs the phone about firmware updates. A different
firmware file can be sent to MinePhone with different hardware revisions.
•
mp70_firmware_x_x_x.bin — The binary firmware file where x_x_x is the version number. The file
contains the phone firmware.
•
mp70_resource_x_x_x.bin — The binary resource file where x_x_x is the version number. The
resource file contains pictures, icons and ring tones.
To minimise the time spent updating and to reduce network bandwidth, the miphone_firmware_site.txt file
is read first by the MinePhone. If the information contained in the file indicates firmware changes, it will
download the binary files and apply them to the phone. If there are no changes, the phone will not download
the binary files.
4.3.1 Editing the firmware site file
The miphone_firmware_site.txt file can be edited using a text editor.
The file contents and description are shown in the screenshot and table below.
