3.7.1.2 FLASHport Updating the Consolette

The APX 7500 CPS application is used to Flash upgrade the O5 control head, the mobile radio, and
the Consolette controller card firmware if needed. For more information refer to the APX 7500 Mobile
Detailed Service Manual (6875963M01) and the APX 7500 CPS application help screens. A GCAI
USB cable (HKN6184A) is required for connection between the PC and either the GCAI connector
on the O5 control head or the auxiliary GCAI connector (recommended) on the front panel of the
Consolette.
Using the "FLASHport Upgrade" OR "Radio Software Refresh" options (also known as FLASHing),
you may select the FLASHport upgrade file. This file is provided by Motorola – See Chapter 9 for
Service options.
The "FLASHport Upgrade" process allows the CPS-user to upgrade the mobile radio's System
Options, Firmware, Secure Encryption capabilities, and attached accessories (including the control
head and Consolette controller card). The "Radio Software Refresh" process allows the CPS-user to
refresh the radio's software, without upgrading or modifying the existing radio Features/System
Options. Both of these options will include upgrading the Consolette controller card firmware if
applicable.
Once the FLASHport Upgrade process begins, follow the prompts of the CPS FLASHport Upgrade
Progress Window and the prompts on the Consolette's Front Panel display(s).
