Upgrade

The PTP 400 Series Bridge system has two software image banks; one is a fixed image

which is stored in protected non-volatile memory and cannot be modified by the user. The

second bank is used by the system administrator to upgrade the firmware as and when

necessary.

The ‘Fixed’ image is only used if disaster recovery is required, i.e. if an upgrade process is

interrupted or the units are reset to their factory defaults.

These pages are used to update a unit’s operational software. The software image to be

uploaded should be downloaded to local storage from the

Motorola web site

. The software

image is delivered by Motorola as a compressed zip file. Once the zip file has been

downloaded the user should extract the PTP 400 Series Bridge Software image, identifiable

by its ‘.dld’ file extension.

The “Browse” button is used to locate the software image previously downloaded to local

storage from the

Motorola web site

. Once the image is located the user should press the

“Upload image to wireless unit” button to start the software upgrade process. The following

figures detail the upgrade process:
