1.2.1 Setting up a Temporary Package Server
If you want to use a laptop as a temporary package server, you can
temporarily override the package server IP address and port in each base
station.
1. Run Mongoose on the temporary package server (Start > Programs
> Tait Applications > TB9300 > Mongoose).
2. Windows Firewall may raise a Security Alert about allowing
Mongoose to access your network or the internet.
a. In Windows 7 allow access to private networks.
b. In Windows XP click Unblock.
3. Log in to the base station and select Tools > Firmware > Download.
4. Under Package server, enter the IP address of the laptop. The default
port number is 8080.
5. Download the firmware as described in the Help.
6. If you have trouble with any of the above procedures, please
consider the following points:
■ The firmware download process uses the HTTP protocol. If you
are using a laptop from outside the radio communications
network, make sure that HTTP traffic can get through the
firewall.
■ If Mongoose fails to start, it may already be running, or another
application may be using port 8080.
■ If the error message “Could not find index file” appears when
listing packages, Windows security may be silently blocking
access for Mongoose. Turn off the laptop’s WiFi and temporarily
disable its firewall, then try again.
The base station has enough space for two firmware packages.
