Setting Up a Central 
Package Server
It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe the exact procedure for 
setting up a central package server for any particular network. Tait expects 
that each customer will configure their own package server according to the 
requirements for their network.
However, you do need to configure each base station with the IP address 
and port of the package server computer.
1.
Log in to the base station and select Configure > Base Station > 
Miscellaneous.
2.
Under Package server, enter the IP address and port number of the 
package server.
3.
Download the firmware as described in the Help.
Notice The base station has enough space for two firmware pack-
ages. If the base station already has two packages, delete the unwanted 
package before downloading another.
Setting up a 
Temporary Package 
Server
If you want to use a laptop as a temporary package server, you can 
temporarily override the package server IP address and port in each base 
station.
1.
Run Mongoose on the temporary package server (Start > Programs 
> Tait Applications > TB9300 > Mongoose).
Notice If Mongoose fails to start, it may already be running, or 
another application may be using port 8080.
2.
Windows Firewall may raise a Security Alert about allowing 
Mongoose to access your network or the internet. 
a. In Windows 7 allow access to private networks.
b. In Windows XP click Unblock.
3.
Log in to the base station and select Tools > Tools > Firmware 
Download.
4.
Under Package server, enter the IP address of the laptop. The default 
port number is 8080.
5.
Download the firmware as described in the Help.
Notice The base station has enough space for two firmware pack-
ages. If the base station already has two packages, delete the unwanted 
package before downloading another.
