There are several options for connecting the transceiver and computer control point to the
firmware server. The next illustrations show two variations. With either method, it is essential
that all of the equipment be on the same subnet.
Upgrade Configuration—TFTP Server and Firmware File on Same CPU
Upgrade Configuration—TFTP server and firmware file on remote server
Transferring the radio firmware image file, which is about 3 MB, may take several minutes,
depending on traffic between the TFTP server and the transceiver.
Regardless of your connection to the transceiver, loading firmware or configuration files into
the flash RAM within the radio is much slower than loading software onto a PC hard drive or
RAM.
