TB9300 Installation and Operation Manual Working with Base Stations from Your PC 105

5.4.7 Downloading Firmware from a Package Server
See 5.4.5 Updating Firmware for information about file locations and
extensions.
While Tait recommends uploading firmware directly to the base station,
the base station also supports downloading firmware files from a package
server (web server).
5.4.8 Activating New Firmware
Activating firmware causes the base station to reboot, and then start
back up in offline mode. The base station will then have to be manually
put back online.
The WebUI page Tools > Firmware > Activate allows you to review the
two firmware packages stored on the base station and activate the one that
is presently inactive.
The base station can remain online while doing upload or download,
minimizing any outage time for activation.
Two firmware package slots allow for the separation of the upload and
download procedures from the activation itself. This minimizes outage
time when upgrading the firmware.
After activation, the retained, but now inactive firmware allows the user to
quickly revert versions, if necessary.
Upon activation, the base station will reboot and come up with the
firmware that has been activated.
5.4.9 Working with Configuration Files
At any time, you can save the current configuration settings as a file
(Tools > Files > Configuration > Backup configuration). This is stored in
the base station, but we recommend that you also download and store it on
your computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and network
identity are not saved as part of the configuration file.
The following parameters are not restored on a base station when a
configuration is restored:
■ Keypad enabled
■ Trunking capability
■ Trunking control channel priority
■ Host name
■ Default channel
■ Operating mode
