Back up your data off the base station. If the activate process fails, there
could be a risk of the configuration database being corrupted. Give the
backup file a user-friendly name (incorporating, for example, the site
ID, date and time) so it can readily be identified.

If the base station has two firmware packages displayed on the Tools >
Firmware > Activate page, the update will replace the inactive package
Reciter Hardware
Beginning with firmware release 3.10, there are two different reciter series,
which have different executable files. You can find out the reciter series, 1
or 2, on the WebUI Monitor > Modules > Module details page. Firmware
files for Series 1 & 2 hardware have different file extensions. The
differences are summarized in the tables below.
File Locations
The Windows installer by default places firmware files in the following
location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Tait Applications
For Linux computers, firmware is supplied in Zip files with the structure
described here. Install in a directory of your choice.
