Checking the Firmware Versions and Software
Features
Check that the firmware version of all devices (radio bodies and control
head) is the same. If not, upgrade the appropriate devices by connecting the
control head directly to a radio body. For the firmware version and
programming application version to use, see
. For more information, click the Help [?] button
from the programming application’s
Download
dialog (Tools >
Download).
Check that both radio bodies have the software feature for Multi-Body
Support enabled (default factory configuration). For more information,
click the Help button from the programming application’s
Optional
Features
dialog (Tools > Optional Features).

Downloading Network IDs
The Head and Bodies forming the radio system must have a unique NTID
(Network ID) to successfully operate together. The following outlines the
NTID requirements for a dual body, single control head system.
If a dual body radio system has been ordered as a factory kit the NTIDs
will be correctly pre-configured.
The “Duplicate MAC Address” error indicates a problem with NTID
configuration.
If both devices have a standard configuration, the only required change
is to switch the VHF body NTID from 1 to 3.
NTIDs can only be set with a single body connected to the control head.
If connecting using the body remote interface, only the T02-00081-
BAAA interface can be used. This interface has bias fitted.
Note
Only items for connected devices will be displayed.

For each body requiring an NTID update, connect the control head
(the T02-00081-BAAA remote interface must be used) and apply
power.
