UPGRADING AP FIRMWARE
GE MDS occasionally offers upgrades to the transceiver firmware. One
version of the firmware provides core software resources for all radio
models. Uploading new firmware into the radio does not alter any
privileges provided by Authorization Keys, and does not require the
transceiver to be taken offline until you want to operate the radio from
the new firmware image in the radio.
You must use the entraNET MS for all firmware activities, including
uploading from a TFTP server.
NOTE:
To upgrade the Remote firmware, refer to
UPGRADING
REMOTE FIRMWARE
on Page 117.
You can initiate the uploads through any of the three entraNET MS
gateways:
•
Terminal emulator
—Connect a PC directly to the transceiver
COM1
port using a serial cable, and use a terminal emulator
program on the PC such as HyperTerminal.
•
Telnet
—Use a network connection for text-based access to the
Management System.
•
Web browser
—Connect a PC directly to the transceiver
LAN
port or associated network and open a Web browser on the PC.
For information on downloading firmware code, visit the GE MDS Web
site at

.
Upgrading the
Transceiver
Firmware
To install firmware using TFTP, you need:
• A PC with a TFTP server running. You can download a TFTP
server from the GE MDS Web site at
www.gemds.com/service/technical/support/
downloads.asp
.
• The IP address of the PC running the TFTP server.
If you do not know your computer IP address (Windows PC), select
Start>Run
and enter
winipcfg
or
ipconfig
to determine this information. The
radio IP address can be found under the
Network Configuration Menu
.
(
See “Network Configuration Menu”
on Page 45
.)
There are several options for connecting the transceiver and computer
control point to the firmware server.
Figure 8-1
and
Figure 8-2
show two
variations.With either method, it is essential that all of the equipment be
on the same subnet.
