User Manual

file" is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware file
that the Connect Plus radio knows about via system
messaging, but the radio has not yet collected all of
the file’s packets. If a display Connect Plus radio has
a pending file, the menu provides options to:
• See the version number of the pending file.
• See what percentage of packets has been
collected so far.
•
Request the Connect Plus radio to resume
collecting file packets.
If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus over-the-air
file transfer, there may be times when the radio
automatically joins a file transfer without first notifying
the radio user. While the radio is collecting file
packets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radio
displays the High Volume Data icon on the Home
Screen status bar.
Note:
The Connect Plus radio cannot collect file
packets and receive calls at the same time. If
you wish to cancel the file transfer, press and
release the PTT button. This causes the radio
to request a call on the selected Contact
Name, and it will also cancel the file transfer
for that radio until the process resumes at a
later time.
There are several things that can make the file
transfer process start again. The first example applies
to all over-the-air file types. The other examples apply
only to the Network Frequency File and Option Board
Firmware File:
• The radio system administrator re-initiates the
over-the-air file transfer.
• The Option Board's pre-defined timer expires,
which causes the Option Board to automatically
resume the process of collecting packets.
•
The timer has not yet expired, but the radio user
requests the file transfer to resume via the menu
option.
After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading all
file packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquired
file. For the Network Frequency File, this is an
automatic process and does not require a radio reset.
For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is an
automatic process that will cause a brief interruption
to service as the Option Board loads the new
codeplug information and re-acquires a network site.
How quickly the radio upgrades to a new Option
Board firmware file depends on how the radio has
