RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Maintenance
July 2000 6880493G02-C 6-87
Software Download
The RF-O! transmitter downloads the new image from the remote TFTP server to the RAM
storage of the RF-B! transmitter controller. The image is then transferred to the RF-O!
transmitter record by record through the Plug-n-Play Maintenance Path. The image is stored
in the dormant FLASH memory bank of the RF-O! transmitter. In compliance with the Plug-n-
Play specifications, the RF-O! transmitter will automatically switch (cutover) to the new
software upon completion of a successful software download.
Software Download Compatibility
There are compatibility limitations associated with the RF-O! transmitter software download.
Some of the known limitations are listed below.
• Previous RF-O! Software Releases Limitation: Prior to RF-O! software version 1.2.1,
software download on the RF-O! transmitter is unreliable.
• RF-B!/RF-O! Software Compatibility Limitation: The appropriate version of RF-B!
software is needed to properly communicate with the current version of RF-O! software
during a software download.
• RF-O! Hardware/Software Compatibility Limitation: The RF-O! software versions 1.2.3
and later use the AM29F040 Flash Memory SIMM.
Note: All compatibility issues are outlined in the latest release document in the “Hardware/Software
Compatibility” section. Refer to the "RF-Orchestra! 1.2.5 Release Overview" or later release
document if appropriate for current compatibility matrices. Contact Motorola for a copy of the
latest release document.
Software Download Equipment
• FIPS Session to RF-B!: The download to the RF-O! transmitter is done entirely through
the RF-B! FIPS interface. The user must have some remote means to establish a FIPS
session with the RF-B! transmitter controller. The RF-B! transmitter controller will act as
the proxy for the RF-O! transmitter and download to the RF-O! transmitter through the
Plug-n-Play Maintenance Path. RF-B! FIPS commands are shown in the procedure. The
commands the user should enter at the FIPS session are shown in bold text, and the
expected response is shown on the following line. A value of xxx may be shown with
