• See what percentage of packets has been collected so
far.
• Request the Connect Plus radio to resume collecting file
packets.
If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus OTA file transfer,
there may be times when the radio automatically joins a file
transfer without first notifying the radio user. While the radio
is collecting file packets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the
radio displays the High Volume Data icon on the Home
Screen status bar.
NOTICE:
The Connect Plus radio cannot collect file packets
and receive calls at the same time. If you wish to
cancel the file transfer, press and release the PTT
button. This causes the radio to request a call on
the selected Contact Name, and it will also cancel
the file transfer for that radio until the process
resumes at a later time.
There are several things that can make the file transfer
process start again. The first example applies to all OTA
file types. The other examples apply only to the Network
Frequency File and Option Board Firmware File:
• The radio system administrator re-initiates the OTA file
transfer.
• The Option Board pre-defined timer expires, which
causes the Option Board to automatically resume the
process of collecting packets.
• The timer has not yet expired, but the radio user
requests the file transfer to resume through the menu
option.
After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading all file
packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquired file. For the
Network Frequency File, this is an automatic process and
does not require a radio reset. For the Option Board
Codeplug File, this is an automatic process that will cause
a brief interruption to service as the Option Board loads the
new codeplug information and re-acquires a network site.
How quickly the radio upgrades to a new Option Board
firmware file depend on how the radio has been configured
by the dealer or system administrator. The radio will either
upgrade immediately after collecting all file packets, or it
will wait until the next time that the user turns the radio on.
NOTICE:
Check with your dealer or system administrator to
determine how your radio has been programmed.
The process of upgrading to a new Option Board firmware
file takes several seconds, and it requires the Connect Plus
Option Board to reset the radio. Once the upgrade starts,
the radio user will not be able to make or receive calls until
