FreeWave FGR2 User Manual (English)

The sections below describe the updates and known limitations in each firmware version for the FGR2

transceiver models. The most recent version is listed first. The latest firmware versions are available on the

FreeWave Web site at www.FreeWave.com. You can also view the latest firmware available for most models in

Tool Suite. For more information about the additions and updates in each release, see the FGR2 Wireless Data

Transceivers User Manual and Reference Guide.

Version v10.6.7

Release Date: July 2013

Note: If you upgrade from firmware 8.77 or 8.78 to firmware v10.6.7 and experience

issues or inconsistent results, contact FreeWave Technical Support at

303.381.9200 or by email at moreinfo@freewave.com.

Additions and Changes:

Corrected problem with serial radios set to RS485 changing to RS232 operation when no setting

change was made. This change only applies to radios that include an RS485 setting for the

serialinterface.

Known Limitations and Work Arounds:

In the Network Diagnostics application within Tool Suite, the transceivers report having the incorrect

firmware version installed.

In the Operation Mode tab in Tool Suite (Modem Mode menu in the terminal interface), Ethernet

parameters display. These options do not apply to this transceiver.

Supply voltage readings within Tool Suite can fluctuate and differ from those readings on an external

voltage meter.

When the Use Break to Access Setup setting is set to use the transceiver's current baud rate (a

setting only available through the terminal interface), the Diagnostic port's baud rate does not set to

the default or the Baud Rate setting, resulting in unreadable output. If you use this Use Break to

Access Setup setting, use the data port for configuration.

Version v10.6.6

Release Date: October 2012

Note: If you upgrade from firmware 8.77 or 8.78 to firmware v10.6.6 and experience

issues or inconsistent results, contact FreeWave Technical Support.

Additions and Changes:

Updated firmware version to use the vX.X.X format.

Added AES 128, 192, and 256 encryption capability. AES functionality is enabled at the factory. To

upgrade an existing transceiver to use the AES functionality, contact FreeWave Technical Support.

You must set AES settings using the terminal interface, as Tool Suite versions 2.9.0.0 and before do

not include AES.
