7.5 BSC Firmware Upgrading

The Paragon4 radiomodem firmware is field-upgradable using the unit’s Ethernet port. The

process involves connecting to the IP address of the base from a host PC and transferring the

firmware files via an FTP program.

7.5.1 Procedure

1. Using a file decompression program, such as WinZIP™ or WinXP’s right-click & select

the “Expand to…” option, expand the contents of the firmware upgrade package to a di-

rectory of your choice on the host PC.

Warning:

Be aware that base and mobile’s firmware archives are often distributed at the same time.

Files intended for the Paragon4 radiomodem are labeled in the form Para-

gon4_edba_vx.x_Rx.xx.zip. Be careful not to transfer firmware into the wrong unit!

2. Using an FTP client program of your choice, establish a connection to the base IP ad-

dress.

3. Transfer all the files in the upgrade package. Occasionally, long pauses, on the order of

30 to 45 seconds, are possible when storing the file in the unit’s flash file system.
