Recommended Procedure Over Wi-Fi includes the general cases of the codeplug and radio firmware update using the Radio Management System over Wi-Fi. This recommendation is a guideline but many variations of this procedure are valid.

 

 

Motorola recommends that the Wi-Fi network used for radio provisioning be configured as a secure network. WPA is more secure than WEP, but both are supported. Enterprise level security is not yet supported.

 

The radio can be provisioned with up to 20 distinct Wi-Fi access points. Additionally, network priorities are programmable such that if the radio is within range of multiple pre-configured networks, it will connect to the network with the highest priority (1 = highest priority). If the radio is within the range of multiple networks of the same priority, it will connects to the network with the highest signal strength.

 

When the radio connects to the Wi-Fi network,the radio will notify the Device Programmer (DP). If the DP has any scheduled jobs for that radio, the job will initiate in the background.

 

 After the radio receives the update, the user will be alerted by a tone. Additionally, if the radio has a front display, the options “Accept” or “Delay” will be shown.

 

For codeplug only updates, the codeplug will be updated after the user turn on the radio.

 

For firmware updates, if the radio has a front display, the options “Accept” or “Delay” will be shown. Radios with a top display will show “Update?” and the user needs to press the long key press of the top side button of the radio to accept the update.

The radio will be out of service for several minutes during the firmware updates.
