3) Radio Discovery: Once the firmware upgrade tool has been configured with the Network Address, Mask and SNMP Read/Write
Community string of the radio network, the radios can be discovered, and can populate the table. There are two methods for radio discovery:
• Auto Discovery: By selecting the ‘Discover’ Button, the tool will automatically interrogate each IP address within the Subnet
range defined by the mask. If any devices are discovered during this process, the table will be automatically populated upon
discovery completion. Depending on how big the sub net is (how many IP address the tool needs to interrogate) this can take a
long period of time to complete. During this time, the progress is shown at the bottom of the window.
• Manual Population: When a small number of remotes have known IP addresses, it can be time efficient to manually populate
the table (rather than waiting for the tool to interrogate an entire subnet). To perform a manual table entry:
- Within the Unit List, click inside the white blank box underneath ‘IP’
- Enter the IP address of a radio, along with the Mask and Community String.
- A new row will appear for an additional unit (if required) this will continue to happen after every IP address added to the list.
4) Radio Verification: Once the unit list table has been populated (automatically or manually) select the radios which are to be
included in the firmware upgrade by checking the select box at the end of the corresponding radios table entry row.
Once the required radios are selected, click the “Verify Selected” button. This begin an SNMP polling cycle to each of the selected
radios. The poll cycle will occur every 15 minutes, with 4 seconds between each selected radio. This will verify that each of the selected
radio are still present and are able to receive the firmware upgrade broadcasts. To stop the polling or to select a different group of
radios, select the cancel button.
If at any time, a radio needs to be removed from the Unit List table, select the radio in the table and select the ‘Delete Selected Button’.
