8.3.6 Software Upgrade
The 500 Series system has two software image banks; one is a fixed image which is stored in
protected non-volatile memory and cannot be modified by the user. The second bank is used by
the system administrator to upgrade the firmware when necessary. Figure 54 shows the main
software upgrade web page.

The ‘Fixed’ or ‘Recovery’ image is used by the System Administrator to:
• Reset Ethernet configuration to default settings
• Erase Configuration
• Upgrade software
For a full description of the Recovery image see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
The software upgrade pages are used to update a unit’s operational software. The software image
to be uploaded should be downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. The software
image is delivered by Motorola as a compressed zip file. Once the zip file has been downloaded,
the user should extract the PTP 500 Series Software image, identifiable by its ‘.dld’ file extension.
The first step (Figure 54) is to use the “Browse” button to locate the software image previously
downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. Once the image is located, the user should
press the “Upload image to wireless unit” button to start the software upgrade process
