Software Updates
NOTE
CAUTION
Using the Admin Tabs 3-7
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.
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.
Figure 3-7
Step 3
Use the Browse button to locate the software file. The drop-d own list box
displays the most recently used filenames. The File time window
displays the modification timestamp of the file in the Firmware file
window.

Step 4 Check the file version and handset version for comparison. Once the
update is complete, the file version will have overwritten the handset
version and these two file versions will match.

Using the Settings Editor
The handset has two menus with configurable options - the Admin menu
and the Config menu. The Admin menu contains administrative options
that can be password protected. The Config menu has options that
enable the end user to customize settings for user preferences. The
Settings tab allows you to configure both required and optional settings
in the Admin and Config menus. Specific configuration requirements are
detailed in the NEC MH150 and MH160 Mobile Handset Administration
Guide document.

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
settings and regulatory domain. Group types relate to Push-to-talk
options. User types reference name, extension and profile options.

When the Read Handset and Write Handset buttons are clicked, they
initiate the transfer of configuration data from or to the handset in the
charger. The handset indicators change color to indicate the state of the
transfer. See “Indicators” on page 3-2 for indicator color significance.
A tab system organizes the options. See .

Each tab contains options from the Admin menu and/or the Config menu
(see Table 4-1). Admin menu options are password protected and
usually set by the system administrator. Config menu options are

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.
Your handsets may have different options than those available in the Handset
Administration T ool. 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.
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
provided in Table 4-2, “Configuration planning
page 4-8.
Organize the plan
Determine which options should be ca teg orized 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

Note that when a setting is changed, the option label is highlighted in yellow until it is

In the same way, create each Group plan by entering the values in the

Regulatory Domain Mismatch
The options that are available on the Settings Editor may not match the
options currently enabled on the handset. This could happen if you
update the software in the handset without also updating the MH
Administration Tool. Or you could update the MH Administration Tool but
not the handset software. In either of these situations different options
may appear on the MH Administration Tool than are available in the
handset.
If the Regulatory Domains in the handset are not supported by the
urrently installed version of the MH Administration Tool, a warning
c
message will appear:
Warning: Regulatory domain support is
down level with respect to this phone's
firmware version. Recommend upgrading
the application.
This message indicates that the MH Administration Tool software needs
to be updated. Please see “Software Updates” on page 3-7.
If it is necessary to down rev the handset and MH Administration Tool
this message could also appear. If so, reset the handset defaults

and proceed with configuration.
