5.4.8
Downloading Firmware from a Package Server
See
for information about file locations and
extensions.
While Tait recommends uploading firmware directly to the base station, the
base station also supports downloading firmware files from a package
server (web server).
5.4.9
Activating New Firmware
Activating firmware causes the base station to reboot, and then start
back up in offline mode. The base station will then have to be manually
put back online.
The WebUI page Tools > Firmware > Activate allows you to review the
two firmware packages stored on the base station and activate the one that
is presently inactive.
The base station can remain online while doing upload or download,
minimizing any outage time for activation.
Two firmware package slots allow for the separation of the upload and
download procedures from the activation itself. This minimizes outage
time when upgrading the firmware.
After activation, the retained, but now inactive firmware allows the user to
quickly revert versions, if necessary.
Application
Packages
The TB9400 can store two complete application packages in two distinct
slots, one of which is active at any time. This is useful for switching
between firmware applications (e.g. P25/AS-IP to DMR/MPT).
You can switch between the two at any time, and run the other. However,
there are certain functions associated with each application that are only
possible when running that specific software. For more information, please
see the base station help.
Appropriate licenses are required for either mode of operation
(P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT).
