Firmware select a firmware file (*.bin format) to upload into the attached ADL
radio modem. Pacific Crest recommends that you save the radio’s current
configuration to your computer before upgrading firmware. Use the Export
option described below to save the configuration. Before upgrading the
firmware, the software prompts you to connect or reconnect to the radio.
See
Connecting to the Radio, page 9 .
Note: if you wish to upgrade the firmware of an ADL radio module
embedded within another product, that product may restrict you to using
only one baud rate. If so, you must select a special version of firmware made
especially for your product. Please check with your dealer, your product’s
manufacturer or the Pacific Crest web site to obtain this special firmware.
Import import radio configuration files (*.dat) from your computer to the ADLCONF
software. These files contain the radio parameters displayed and edited
on the Radio Link and Serial Interface screens. Click Program to upload the
configuration to the attached radio.
Export save the radio configuration (*.dat) to your computer. This enables you to
create one configuration and copy it to multiple radios.
Note – When you export a configuration you only create a *.dat file. To
configure a radio, you must view a configuration in the software (either by
creating it or by importing an existing configuration) and then click Program
.
View Report view on a web browser all the configuration parameters of the attached
radio. In addition, this HTML-formatted report shows firmware settings that
may help Pacific Crest support technicians to diagnose problems if the radio
requires service.

your computer.
