3. Transfer all files in the upgrade package. Occasionally, long pauses, on the order of 30
to 45 seconds, are possible when storing the file in the unit’s flash file system.
Warning: Only transfer Dataradio ViPR files. Do not transfer any zip folders that might
be included in the firmware upgrade package.
Failure to follow the recommended procedure as detailed above may result in unit becoming
unresponsive.
4. If you are upgrading from version 1.2 or older, transfer the license.opt file
corresponding to the ViPR’s MAC Address. The license.opt file will enable the SNMP
feature and is tied to the ViPR’s MAC Address. Contact CalAmp for information about
obtaining the SNMP feature.
5. Once the file transfer is complete, cycle power and allow the unit to boot. The ViPR
should return to its pre-update state.
Note:
After resetting, the Status LED should be steady green. If it is steady red, the FTP transfer
may not have been successful or the firmware is corrupt. See Verify File Integrity below.
