3.2.2 Active Antenna DECT Updates
3.2.2.1 Preparing Active Antenna
To set an Active Antenna into DECT download/debug mode, open the case and put
links on LK4 and LK2, as shown below. These are the same links set to upgrade or
debug the DECT firmware. These links should be removed for normal operation.
Care must be taken to use the correct version of the DECT firmware for your version
of antenna - RM5 (older units) or Kirk (newer units, and the bulk of
CellCom/FreeSpeak shipments). You can determine the type of the antenna by
checking the current version of firmware.
1. Connect a terminal emulator (i.e. HyperTerminal) set at 19200,8,N,1 via the
registration cable connection.
2. Power up the unit – the SW versions will be displayed.
3. Check that the SW versions are correct.
a. If the version number displayed contains a "k", e.g. " AA_AK", then you
need to upgrade with the Kirk version of DECT firmware
– e.g.
c6983_dect_hw_fp_v15_k19.hex
b. If the version number does not contain a "k", e.g. " ActiveA02d", then
you need to use the RM5 version of the DECT firmware
– e.g.
c6657_hw_fp_v14_rm5.hex
c. Or if the unit is open, compare your hardware with the images below.
