<strong>Multichannel</strong> <strong>PRA</strong><br />
4.3.4 Firmware update<br />
After loading the configuration data from a <strong>Multichannel</strong> <strong>PRA</strong> the current status of the<br />
firmware is displayed in the entry Firmware in the General Parameters table. It can<br />
also be read out without loading the configuration by the menu command<br />
“Connection/Current Firmware Version”.<br />
Figure 12: Firmware Update<br />
The firmware is updated by the menu command “Connection/Update Firmware”.<br />
First select the firmware file you want to load. This is named either relimg.bin or<br />
prafwrel.bin for GSM devices or dm15rel.bin for TDMA devices.<br />
After selecting the firmware file check the version of the selected firmware in the blue<br />
text field. Then click to the “Update” button.<br />
Note: The firmware update can only be done directly from the <strong>PRA</strong>C application if<br />
the current firmware of the <strong>Multichannel</strong> <strong>PRA</strong> is at least 1.0.1.<br />
Otherwise follow the instructions in the next section.<br />
4.3.4.1 Firmware replacement from the console window<br />
In case you encounter problems during the software update using the <strong>PRA</strong>C<br />
application (firmware updates skipping several versions are not tested) or if the<br />
current firmware version is lower than 1.0.1 you can (or have to) replace the current<br />
firmware using the BOOT interface (upper V.24 connector in the front of the<br />
<strong>Multichannel</strong> <strong>PRA</strong>).<br />
Step-by-step instructions (To update a GSM device, for TDMA refer to the notes<br />
below):<br />
• Connect the PC to the upper V.24 port of the <strong>PRA</strong> (BOOT Interface)<br />
• Press BOOT button on <strong>PRA</strong><br />
• Open the <strong>PRA</strong>C folder (default C:\<strong>PRA</strong>C)<br />
• Change to folder "firmware"<br />
• Start the batchfile fwloadCOMx.bat (x=1..4, Number of COM Port)<br />
• Wait until program is ready<br />
• Switch the <strong>Multichannel</strong> <strong>PRA</strong> off and on again<br />
