SmartProgramming
The SmartProgramming service enables radio programming and updates over LTE broadband
connection while the radios are in use. Seamless updates of firmware (full and differential), radio
configuration and security updates are scheduled by the radio system administrator and the radio user
is given a choice to install immediately or delay for later.
LTE
With SmartProgramming, you can apply a software feature to your radios on the go. Shortly after the
purchase, the new software features license is loaded into RadioCentral or Customer Programming
Software (CPS) and a provisioning job can be scheduled to enable the feature through LTE. Your radio
service provider can also schedule a software update for your radio. When an update is available, your
radio automatically downloads the update package. After the package is downloaded, you can install it
immediately or later.
You or your service provider can reset your radio to factory settings by using this feature.
NOTE: This feature is a selling feature.
NOTE: The Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) firmware updates are carried out by the radio.
Your radio will not show any notification as the updates are happening in the background.

APX NEXT Programming Using USB for CPS

In offline situations such as emergencies or unavailable broadband connection, the Customer
Programming Software (CPS) allows you to program APX NEXT radios through a USB port on a
local PC. You can program radios one at a time using this method.
The CPS is a proprietary Windows-based application. You can add new software and enhance
features on the radio with CPS features such as drag-and-drop, clone wizard, and basic import and
export functions. When loaded, radio configurations can be read and edited. You can save codeplugs
and templates locally for reuse when programming other radios.
