Using Series 2
Reciters in an
Existing Channel
Group
If you are adding a new or replacement reciter, Tait strongly recommend
that all the existing series 1 reciters be upgraded to version 3.10 or later, so
that all the reciters in the channel group have the same firmware version.
Failure to do so may lead to problems with channel group operation.
Reciter Repairs
Needing a
Replacement
Control Board
Series 1 reciter repairs needing a new control board will be returned as
series 2 reciters running version 3.10 or later firmware. Returned
equipment will include a notification sticker that this reciter is now series
2 and warns of possible channel group compatibility issues with reciters in
the network running older firmware.
1.1.3 Firmware Information
There are separate firmware packages for series 1 and series 2 reciters as
they run different processors.
Upgrading version 3.05 or earlier from a feed server will display 2 versions
for version 3.10 and later. The version ending in ‘-02’ is series 2 reciter
firmware:
Attempting to download -02 firmware to a series 1 reciter will fail, with a
status of ‘Error’ within a few seconds.
Upgrading from a feed server with a reciter running version 3.10 or later
will select the correct firmware package for the reciter automatically. The
list of firmware presented in the lower section is filtered by the P25/AS-IP,
DMR/MPT or All radio buttons at the top of the Tools > Firmware >
Upload/Download tab WebUI page.
If you are using the direct firmware upload option, the series 1 firmware
file has the suffix
.tbc and series 2 has the suffix .tbc02. File selection
has a filter for the correct file extension.
Uploading the incorrect firmware version for the series of reciter will fail
with the message ‘Information Failed Configuration’ in the Direct upload
section.
Refer to the latest software release note for series 2 hardware and firm-
ware compatibility information.
