Load a radio firmware image on a Z45 Controller

You can used the radio provisioning feature to install network-specific firmware onto your Z45 Controller. You should select the network firmware that matches your SIM card's cellular network. By default, the radio is configured for Verizon.

Any changes made to the radio configuration are automatically saved in the designated network area identified by the IMEI found on an installed SIM card.

  1. Prepare the Z45 Controller.
    1. Unplug the Z45 Controller from the main power supply.
    2. Remove any SIM cards inserted in the Z45 Controller.
    3. Install your new SIM card for the new carrier.
    4. Plug the Z45 Controller into a main power supply.

  2. Access the device's web UI from the Device Summary page.

  3. Click Admin Main.

  4. From the Options section, click Radio Provisioning. The Radio Provisioning screen displays.

  5. Click Radio Update. The Radio Firmware Programming page displays. The currently installed firmware displays in the Current Firmware field.

  6. From the Select a Network list box, select the correct firmware for the network you are using. Options are:

    • Verizon. This is the default.

    • AT&T

    • Sprint

    • Generic. Choose this option if you are connecting to T-Mobile or another international carrier.

  7. Click Update Radio to start the installation process. During the process, the SVC and Link LEDs begin an alternating green pattern, and the Get Status button on the Radio Firmware Programming page displays the network firmware that is being loaded. This process takes between 2 and 3 minutes to complete.

    Note If the programming step encountered a problem the LEDs simultaneously blink red/yellow. If this happens, restart or power cycle the Z45 Controller.

  8. When complete, the Get Status button changes to indicate that the radio programming has completed and the LEDs simultaneously blink green indicating that the programming was successful.
