Preparing to Download Firmware
New versions of 
base station
 firmware are remotely downloaded to 
base 
stations
 from a package server. A package server is a basic web server 
application. The product DVD provides the Mongoose web server. 
Note
You do not have to install Mongoose to make it work, because 
mongoose-3.0.exe is a self-sufficient executable file.
You can set up a single PC to be the central package server for all the 
base 
stations
 on the network using mongoose or any web server. You can also use 
a laptop as a temporary package server.
To set up a PC as a package server, proceed as follows.
1.
Insert the product DVD in the computer’s DVD drive.
2.
If the DVD does not autorun, navigate to the DVD’s root folder and 
double-click mongoose-3.0.exe. An “m” icon appears in the system 
tray to indicate that the package server is running.
3.
If the PC is to be the central package server, configure each 
base 
station
 with the package server’s IP address and port.
a. Select Configure > Base Station > Miscellaneous.
b. Under Package server, enter the IP address of the package server. 
4.
If a laptop is to be a temporary package server, temporarily override 
the package server IP address and port in each 
base station
.
a. Select Tools > Tools > Firmware Download.
b. Under Package server, enter the IP address of the laptop. 
You can now instruct a 
base station
 to list and download firmware from the 
package server.
