2) Configure the Firmware Upgrade Tool: The firmware upgrade tool requires the following parameters to allow communication
with each of the radios being upgraded.
- Network Address: This parameter defines the base (beginning) IP Address of the subnet. Otherwise known as
Subnet IP, Base Address or Subnet ID.
For information on how to determine what the network address of your radio system is, see your network
specialist or refer to a network calculator such as the one found at this address: (http://ipcalc.nmonitoring.com/).
- Mask: The mask is used to define the range of the subnet. Used in conjunction with the Network Address, the firmware
upgrade tool can determine:
- Where the subnet starts
- How many IP addresses are within it
- Where the Subnet ends (The last address within a subnet is always allocated as the broadcast address)
- Read/Write Community String: Set the same Read/Write Community String within all of the target radios.
Example - Configuring the Firmware Upgrade tool: The diagram below shows a typical PTMP system along with the
configuration parameter values required by the Firmware Upgrade tool.
