4RF Aprisa XE - Upgrading the Terminal by Uploading System Files

Maintenance | 182
Upgrading the terminal by uploading system files
A terminal can also be upgraded by uploading specific system files: configuration files, kernel image
files, software image files or firmware image files.
Note: You should only upgrade components that need changing. It is not always necessary, for
instance, to replace kernel or software files when upgrading a single firmware file. If interdependency
exists between file types, this will be made clear in the documentation that accompanied the update
package.
Configuration files
Configuration files (.cfg) are compressed archives containing a script to instruct the terminal on how to
handle the other files in the archive.
Uploading of configuration files can only be performed to the Local Terminal (not via the link to the
Remote Terminal).
RF synthesizer configuration files
The RF synthesizer configuration archive contains files that provide values for the transmitter and
receiver synthesizers to operate across the supported frequency bands.
Synthesizer configuration filenames have the following format:
XE_(frequency bands)_synth.cfg
e.g. XE_300_400_synth.cfg
Modem configuration files
The Modem configuration archive contains files that provide values for the Modem to operate at the
various supported channel sizes and modulation types.
Modem configuration filenames have the following format:
modem_(version number).cfg
e.g. modem_7_1_4.cfg
Cross-connect configuration files
The Cross-connect configuration archive contains the Cross Connections application program that can
be launched from within SuperVisor.
Cross-connect configuration filenames have the following format:
C-crossconnect_(version number).cfg
e.g. C-crossconnect_7_1_4.cfg
