The Paragon3 radiomodem firmware is field-upgradable using the unit’s Ethernet port. The process in-
volves connecting to the IP address of the base from a host PC and transferring the firmware files via an 
FTP program.  

1.  Using a file decompression program, such as WinZIP™ or WinXP’s right-click & select the “Expand 

to…” option, expand the contents of the firmware upgrade package to a directory of your choice on the 
host PC. 
Warning: 

Be aware that base and mobile’s firmware archives are often distributed at the same time. Files 
intended for the Paragon3 radiomodem are labeled in the form 
Paragon3_edba_Vx.x_Rx.xx.zip

. Be careful not to transfer firmware into the wrong unit!  

2.  Using an FTP client program of your choice, establish a connection to the base IP address. Please refer 

to paragraph 4.7.4.1 for “Username” and “Password” usage. 

3.  Transfer all the files in the upgrade package. Occasionally, long pauses, on the order of 30 to 45 sec-

onds, are possible when storing the file in the unit’s flash file system. 

4.  Once the file transfer is complete, cycle the base power and allow the unit to boot. The unit should re-

turn to the state it was in when the update was started.  
Note: 

After resetting, the PWR LED remaining lit steady amber or red indicates the FTP transfer was not 
successful or that the firmware is corrupt. Please contact Dataradio system engineering for assis-
tance.
