Introduction

Introduction to FLASHport

™

Congratulations! You have just purchased a software upgrade that will use FLASHport technology from Motorola! FLASHport is a revolutionary new method that makes it possible to add software capabilities to your radios both at the time of purchase and later on.

Previously, changing radio features and capabilities meant costly hardware modifications or buying a new radio. But now, similar to how a computer can be loaded with different software, your radio’s features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software.

This gives your Motorola radio the ability to meet your needs both today and in the future.

• System software packages provide basic radio control operations

• Enhancement packages build on systems packages and permit specific features to be installed in your radio.

Upgrading Your Radio (CPS)

Upgrading Your Radio Using CPS

This section provides instructions on how to upgrade or

“FLASH” your radio with new features using the Customer

Programming Software (CPS).

“FLASHing” Procedure CPS

“FLASHing” or upgrading your radio requires the Customer

Programming Software (CPS) which is used during normal radio programming and servicing procedures. Refer to the “Getting

Started” section for your radio’s specific CPS part number. The following steps describe the best method to upgrade your radio.

NOTE

To save time, perform upgrades of the same model type consecutively. (Example: MTS 2000 Model 1 radio followed by an MTS 2000 Model 1 radio.)

Preparing for an Upgrade of the

Same Model Type

1.

Your FLASHport software upgrade package includes one piece of software (FLASHport upgrade software) on CDROM.

Before starting the upgrade procedure, copy the software to the Upgrade File of the CPS being used.

Example:

C:\Program Files\Motorola\MCSMTS 2000 Products\MTS2000 CPS\Upgrade

2.

Connect the Radio to be FLASHed to the equipment shown on page 5 of this guide. Make sure the radio is equipped with a charged battery (portables) or an external power supply (mobiles). Also, disable the Screen Saver on the computer, if using a Lap Top set the Sleep Mode to OFF.

3.

Apply power to the radio and SRIB. The radio should turn on and go through its power-up sequence. The LED on the SRIB should also turn on.

NOTE: Do not disconnect your radio until the FLASHport upgrade process is completely finished.

Upgrading Your Radio (CPS)

4.

Launch the CPS program by selecting:

Start Programs Motorola <MCS Radio>

<MCS2000 Radio CPS Rxx.xx.xx> .

(Note that the items listed in italics between < > will vary depending on the type of radio you are upgrading; make the selections appropriate to the radio type (e.g., MTS2000 Radio,

XTS3000 Radio, etc.).

5.

From the menu bar in the CPS main window, select:

Tools FLASHport Read Radio Configuration

The following Read Radio Configuration screen will appear.

Make sure the Port setting is correct (for the serial port on the PC you are using to connect to the SRIB) and click on OK.

(Note that you can click on the Details button to view the features currently enabled on this radio.)

7.

Close the View Radio Configuration screen. From the menu bar in the CPS main window, select:

Tools → FLASHport → Read FlashKey Configuration

The following Read FLASHkey Configuration screen will appear. Read the notice and click OK.

Upgrading Your Radio

10.

The Upgrade Radio screen will appear. Using the Browse button at the end of the edit control, navigate to the location of the new radio software file (copied to your PC in Step 1), verify that the directory paths in the Current Settings area are correct (typically valid unless you have moved files, in which case you’ll have to select the proper paths), then click OK.

Note: Make sure the CVN or TVN file supplied on the CD with your FLASH Kit

Is located in the UPGRADE file of the CPS being used,

Example: C:\Program Files\Motorola\MCSMTS 2000 Products\MTS2000 CPS\Upgrade

Upgrading Your Radio

11.

The FLASHing Radio... screen will appear. The new software will begin loading into the radio, as indicated by a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: Please be Patient………A FLASH upgrade may take 20 – 30 minutes depending on the size of the codeplug.

FLASHport User’s Guide

15

Upgrading Your Radio

12.

When the software has completed loading into the radio, the following screen will appear.

13.

Repeat Step 5 to verify that the new software version appears in the FLASHcode and System Package fields. You may also click on the Details button to verify that any new features have been enabled.

14.

Once your radio has been successfully “FLASHed,” you are free to use the CPS to enter any customer-specific information normally contained within the CPS. After CPS programming is complete, save the codeplug data to an archive file. You may upgrade another radio by repeating

Steps 2 through 9.

After completing the upgrade, disconnect the radio. Replace and/or add the radio label with the new radio label provided. It is very important that the new labels are placed on each

“FLASHed” radio so that the radios can be identified for future service and programming.

To help identify the radios that have already been upgraded, place an “I’ve been FLASHED” sticker on the outside of the radio.

These stickers can be easily removed by the end-user.

A FLASHcard should be given to the end-user with each radio upgraded. This FLASHcard provides the end-user with a quick reference of the new features that the radio now contains due to the upgrade.

Ensure that the new model number kits have been applied to each radio that has been subject to a model upgrade.
