B.6 DISCOVERY AND PROGRAMMING IN THE RPM2 APPLICATION
1. Start RPM2.
2. Disconnect the radio from the programming cable.
3. Select the Radio tab
and click the Wi-Fi connection button .
4. When the Wi-Fi connection button is pressed, a “Discovering Wi-Fi Radios” message is
displayed for several seconds and the radios connected to that access point with that Service
Name populate the connection list.
To connect over Wi-Fi, the currently active personality MUST have the correct
Wi-Fi parameters. Therefore, care must be taken that all personalities on a
given radio have the correct Wi-Fi parameters for the desired network.
Otherwise, activation of another personality on the radio will result in the
inability to establish a Wi-Fi connection.
5. Select a radio or radios and perform the desired action. Only Read Personality, Write
Personality, and Load Code are supported over Wi-Fi. See the table below for the supported

active personality in the radio is removed, the radio loses connection to the Access
Point and must be connected over USB to write/activate a personality to reconnect
to the Access Point.
