Note: Check with the dealer or network administrator
to determine whether this feature has been enabled
for your radio.
Any display Connect Plus radio has the ability to
show its current Option Board OTA Codeplug CRC,
Frequency File version or Option Board firmware file
version via a menu option. In addition, display radios
that have been enabled for over-the-air file transfer
can display the version of a "pending file". A "pending
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
