Software Updates
The Firmware tab allows you to copy software updates to the mobile
handset's memory after they are downloaded from a website.
To install manual updates
Step 1 NEC MH150 and MH160 Mobile Handset software updates can be
procured from NEC NTAC.
Step 2 Extract the bin files from the zip file to a folder set up for this purpose.
Each file must be individually downloaded into the handset.
This is not an efficient method of updating any quantity of handsets, but it works for
testing new code and in extremely small installations.
NOTE
Be aware that if there is a TFTP server broadcasting a different version of the
handset code, the handsets will continue to download code over the air and revert to
the different version. Remove handset code from the TFTP server or disable
broadcasting before relying on this update procedure.
CAUTION
Step 3 Use the Browse button to locate the software file. The drop-down list box
displays the most recently used filenames. The File time window
displays the modification timestamp of the file in the Firmware file
window.

File management
The three filename windows, System, Group and User match the three
columns of radio buttons along the left side of the window. The Sys Grp
Usr radio buttons allow you to designate the option(s) for System,
Group or User files. The three windows in the File management section
allow you to name, open, or save setting types as separate files.
For example, system types relate to network options such as security
settings and regulatory domain. Group types relate to Push-to-talk
options. User types reference name, extension and profile options.
The file indicators beside the Save As buttons have three colors to
indicate the status of the file displayed in the window:
• Red: file does not exist. The filename in the window has not been
saved.
• Green: unsaved edits. Changes made in the Editable settings
field(s) which have not been saved to a file yet.
• Gray: file up-to-date. The settings have been saved.
By default, the files will be saved in the Application folder under the
folder where the program is stored. Use the File menu to set up your
own file structure, if desired.
Copy settings
The Copy settings arrows and checkboxes allow you to copy between
the Handset settings column and the Editable setting column. The

For user convenience and efficiency, when the Write Handset button is clicked,
every option set under the Handset settings column in all nine tabs is written at the
same time. Each tab's options are NOT written separately. Be sure that you set all
options before copying the configuration to the handset.
NOTE
Your handsets may have different options than those available in the Handset
Administration Tool. When a handset is placed in the cradle, it is checked for certain
features, such as the Regulatory Domain version. The HAT will turn controls on/off
based on the information that it gathers. If your handsets have options that are not
yet programmed into the HAT, those options will require manual setting if the factory
default is not desired.
NOTE
Creating a Configuration Plan
Although not necessary for using the Handset Administration Tool, a
configuration plan can maximize its efficiency and save countless hours
of handset option management. An example of a configuration plan is
Organize the plan
Determine which options should be categorized as each type—system,
group or user. Generally, system options are listed on the Network tab,
group options are on the PTT tabs and user options are on the profile
tabs. The Phone Config tab contains a mix of user and system types.
Do not create a plan that saves an option in two different categories. Option
categories should be established and should not overlap. Example: Speakerphone
and Push-to-talk settings are typically tagged as Grp options and saved as Group
files.
NOTE

Create the options and save the settings
Once you have established which options will be categorized as System,
Group or User, enter the configuration information into the Editable
settings fields.
Start with the System options and enter all system-level field values,
such as IP addresses, security, and reg domain. Click the Sys radio
button on the left side of the window for each option. Save these
settings as a System file by entering a descriptive filename in the
System filename field and clicking Save As. See the example in
Note that when a setting is changed, the option label is highlighted in yellow until it is
saved.
NOTE
In the same way, create each Group plan by entering the values in the
fields designated as Group types. Click the Grp radio button on the left
side of the window for each option. Save each plan under a different
name in the Group filename field. You may have several groups—
possibly divided by sets of PTT users.
It is recommended that you establish one generic User file that has the
default (or desired) values for each User field. Click the Usr radio
button on the left side of the window for each option and save the
generic user file.
If desired, user settings can be saved for each user, if desired, as each
handset is configured. If you determine that each handset configuration
should be saved, it is easiest to do this during the configuration process.
Alternately, you can upload options from a correctly-configured handset;
copy them to the Editable settings column, categorize them and save
10.
