Download The Latest Firmware
Before you begin, download a copy of the latest firmware to your computer.
There are two options to configure your computer:
If the configuring computer has it's network interface configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP, the computer will be able to reach the VH-109 device at 10.XX.YY.1 (Client/STA mode) or 10.XX.YY.4 (AP mode).
VH-109's programmed at the factory are configured to team #1 in Client/STA mode, setting the IP address to 10.0.1.1.
The VH-109 device is also pre-programmed with a failsafe/management IP address in the 192.168.69.0/24 subnet to reach the management IP of the VH-109 radio.
For example, the network interface on your driver station laptop can be temporarily configured to:
192.168.69.1 or Leave Blank
Connect To Your Radio
Create a wired or wireless connection between the computer and the radio.
Navigate To The Radio's Configuration Page
Depending on the type of connection, this can be reached one of three ways:
Wireless (DHCP) Factory Default
Wireless (DHCP) Team Number Previously Set
Select Firmware File
Select the firmware file from your computer.
Enter Checksum
Enter the checksum located on the firmware release page for the corresponding version you're upgrading to.
Click Upload
When you're ready to start the upgrade process, click upload.
Wait Until Finished
The upgrade process should take about 2-3 minutes to complete. DO NOT power cycle the radio while it's upgrading.
Wait for the upgrade process to finish. You can tell the upgrade is complete when the PWR light is solid and the SYS light is slowly blinking at 1 Hz.
