Upgrading IWR Radio Firmware
To perform these tasks you need:
• Direct or OTA concentrator connection
•RadioShop
Specific instructions for updating the IWR firmware using RadioShop are in the RadioShop Getting
Started Guide.
Upgrading the Radio’s DCW
A Device Control Word (DCW) is a program written in the Gridstream programming language.
DCWs execute within Gridstream devices and provide the ability to control the device. The DCW
interacts with firmware and directs the radio to do things such as reboot or perform advanced
functions.
Verify with your Landis+Gyr representative that you are using the latest
available version of the RadioShop application.
For instance, the MCCTIME.hex DCW contains the current version of MCC
Helper. MCC Helper queries the radio to get its ID, and begins sending
discovery packets to the assigned Take Out Point.
