Radio Wide Features
and any buttons/menu items must be programmed in Armada prior to beginning an
OTAP procedure if an action other than the default “Prompt” is desired. The radio
must also be registered with the data router for an OTAP procedure to take place.
- If the radio has undergone a successful download, by selecting the menu item or
pressing the button, the radio displays the message “ACTIVATING” followed by a
reset of the radio.
Note The radio will reset after a successful download in this mode, but the previous radio
profile will remain in use until the radio user or Armada operator activates the OTAP
parameter.
If the OTAP procedure is not successful, the radio will reboot and return to normal
operating mode with the current parameters.
5.15.2 OTAP Transfer Times
Larger files tie up the radio for a long time. Therefore, any user interface event, such as a
channel change, zone change, button press or toggle switch position change (portable
radios only) stops the OTAP procedure and returns the radio to normal operating mode.
For button presses/toggle switch position changes, the radio exits OTAP mode only if a
function is programmed for the button/toggle switch; otherwise, the bad tone sounds.
Low signal conditions may also cause the radio to exit OTAP. If the radio does not receive
a response from Armada one minute after receiving its last data packet, the radio stops the
OTAP procedure and returns to normal operating mode.
