Take care when setting the severity of alarms, including custom alarms
(Configure > Alarms > Severity). Setting an alarm’s severity to Major
will cause the node to take the base station out of service when the alarm
is raised. Refer to the Help for more information.
4.4.9 Updating Firmware
The base station supports two methods of updating base station firmware.
The WebUI page Tools > Firmware > Upload/Download allows you to
upload base station firmware directly from your PC to the base station, or
download firmware files to the base station from a web server.
Uploading firmware is covered in 4.4.10 Firmware Upload
Downloading firmware is covered in 4.4.11 Downloading Firmware from
a Package Server
Before Uploading
or Downloading
Back up your data off the base station. If the activate process fails, there
could be a risk of the configuration database being corrupted. Give the
backup file a user-friendly name (incorporating, for example, the site ID,
date and time) so it can readily be identified.
If the base station has two firmware packages displayed on the Tools >
Firmware > Activate page, the update will replace the inactive package.
Reciter Hardware From firmware release 3.10, there are two different reciter series, which
have different executable files. You can find out the reciter series, 1 or 2,
on the WebUI Monitor > Modules > Module details page. Firmware files
for series 1 and 2 hardware have different file extensions. The differences
are summarized in the tables below.
Refer to Section 1.1 Series 2 and Series 1 Reciters for more information.
File Locations By default, the Windows installer places firmware files in the following
location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Tait Applications
For Linux computers, firmware is supplied in Zip files with the structure
described here. Install in a directory of your choice.
