How to Program M7100 with RPM2?

[L3KDE]

We have RPM2 at the shop, and I was told by numerous Harris dealers that RPM2 can program an old M7100 Harris radio.

However, I dont see any way to select any older radios other than XGs and XLs. Where would I go to select such an older radio?

I have made a cable and I have the RPM2 Dongle.

I really think you need RPM.

RPM2 doesn’t support the 7100. You would need RPM. Which if I remember correctly the most current is 14C5

I checked RPM2 and it does not support the older M and P series radios. XG and XL series only.

We have been told by Harris themselves that an XL200 will work on NXDN systems in digital mode. They were very adament about that. Take it for what its worth

Does Todd work for Harris now?

oh my!

If not Todd maybe cowthief? Anyway, the OP might try reding a 7100 with RPM2 just to see if it recognizes anything. If it can extract a mission plan it should be able to modify it.

Are L3HARRI$ dealers outsourcing their customer service to the far east or starting to use BOT's, like everyone else?

If the radio isn't supported by RPM2, then it won't read the M7100 or extract the radio personality.

RPM2 will not do the M7100. It will do the M7300/XG75M which is a similar form factor but different firmware.

L3Harris folks say a lot of things that just aren't true. We hear lip service from them on a daily basis on a plethora of things.

I forget his name, but there was one tech at the Harris help desk who was/is extremely knowledgeable; I always hoped to get him when I put in a help ticket. Can't say the same for some of the other people; I had a couple try to tell me some things which I knew from personal experience weren't true.

There are 2 that I know that work at TAC that are extremely knowledgeable and do not exaggerate. They absolutely know their stuff. Factory-To-Field is a whole different story. I have had numerous engineers tell exaggerated claims or give us wrong configurations to use. They love to blow smoke. One F2F engineer told me that his XL200P had special firmware that would allow his radio to transmit 50 Watts. He is the same idiot that broke our KMF and de-registered ALL Windows boxes from the network, so they had to be added back to the domain manually. We do not trust anything coming out of his mouth and we'd love nothing more to never have him touch anything on our network, but he works at F2F, so he does stuff in the lab that may affect us, one way or another.

Wow! That's bad.

L3HARRI$ has been in the process of new hiring to replace the retiring work force for several years now.The bulk of those are engineering positions, so who knows how things will pan out.

 

[rescue161]

No doubt. Imagine the KMF and all dispatch consoles and a bunch of other boxes not working after a reboot. His solution was to not turn those devices off...🙄 This was right before a major hurricane.

There are many more issues that we've experienced, but that would be for another time. I was just pointing out that you can't even trust a vendor to give you good scoop.
