Upgrade Procedure
(TFTP)
To load a new firmware file ( filename.mpk ) into the transceiver via TFTP,
follow these steps:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the radio’s LAN port and the PC
(refer to Figure 20 or Figure 21, as applicable). Verify that the
yellow LED on the radio’s LAN port lights and stays lit. This verifies
that the network is functioning.
2. Launch the TFTP server on the PC. If using the GE MDS TFTP
Server, click the Options tab (A in Figure 22 below) and modify the
Outgoing path (B) using your browser to point to the folder where the
reprogramming package ( .mpk file) is located. The path (C) will be
displayed once the operation is completed. Leave the application
running until reprogramming on the radio is complete.

3. Launch a Telnet session and connect to the radio using its pro-
grammed IP address (the radio and PC must be on the same IP net-
work to connect via Telnet).
