3.2 Remote Update
The AR-2GM supports OTA field upgrades of the AR-2GM resident application. An over the
air TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over a UDP/IP connection. A
replacement file is then transferred from a server to the AR-2GM and that file replaces the
previous application image.
3.3 Auto Execute
The Auto Execute Utility copies the contents of file system.exf into system executable RAM
and executes it from there. This file is the factory default application. Another file named
custom.exf can be loaded into the file system.
Auto Execute will look first for a file named update.exf and load and execute that in place of
custom.exf if it exists. If update.exf executes successfully, the previous copy of custom.exf is
deleted from the file system and update.exf is renamed to custom.exf.
3.4 Power Modes
The AR-2GM device supports several power modes that are set by the power mode command.
In full power mode the GPS is active and the cellular subsystem will maintain a persistent
cellular connection whenever service is available. IP connection is maintained according to
the configuration of the device.
The device can be put in low power mode whenever it runs on a backup battery or if the
external battery is low or if it is not moving. In low power mode the GPS is not running and
