If the Vanguard 3000 cannot deliver them (for example, configured for TCP but no socket opened), they are silently dropped. Congestion Control for established TCP-based connections follow and are limited to the built-in Vanguard 3000 TCP/IP stack congestion control mechanisms.
  • Page 123 (when TCP is used) as the alarm or indication message. Multiple Alarms or Indications Reports The Vanguard 3000 is able to send up to twelve (12) alarm and/or indication messages in a single transmission. Each alarm or indication is sent using its own ALR message.

  • Page 130 Caution: It is important to have a stable power source and ensure that power to the Vanguard 3000 is not interrupted during a firmware upgrade. Later-model Vanguard 3000 routers have a “failsafe” feature to help recover from an interrupted or failed upgrade, but earlier models do not have this feature.

    If a Vanguard will not complete boot up initialization. If a Vanguard 3000 is reset in the middle of an upgrade, it may fail to come up completely (the LEDs display as all amber or all green and the unit does not proceed to normal functioning). In this case, a full firmware install using the serial port is required.

    In case a custom or future upgrade is provided in two parts. Occasionally, a Vanguard 3000 upgrade is too large to be processed in a single operation. In these cases, CalAmp supplies the upgrade in two parts with the identifiers “1of2” and “2of2” in the upgrade file names. The first file typically contains the new kernel and kernel-related components, while the second file contains all other components.
