CAUTION:
It is crucial that a site software download is performed at the site to ensure
that all devices are on the same software version, VLAN, and active bank. Failure to
perform this step results in the replacement transceiver or expansion channel to have a
mismatch in software versions. If a mismatch in software versions occurs, the transceiver
may go into a configuration mode of operation with a reason of ‘Invalid Software Version’.
See one of the following procedures:
• For GTR 8000 Base Radios with PSC 9600 Site Controller:
Performing a Site Download With
PSC 9600 Site Controllers on page 276
.
• For GTR 8000 Base Radios with GCP 8000 Site Controller:

NOTICE:
An IP address must be configured to set up the local password. If the serial

account locked out or the backplane slot has passwords enabled. Connect to the
front-panel local Ethernet service port using a fixed IP address to perform the
password reset. See
Connecting Through an Ethernet Port Link on page 140
