XPR Mototrbo XPR4550 How To Enable RAS?

[cruzinlow66]

Hello all,
Looking for help on how to enable Restricted Access to System on a VHF XPR4550. I have searched and have not seen this specific question. If I read the radio, the field is not there under the Security tab. However, if I open the Moto SAMPLE for the XPR4550, it is there and I can make it work, but the sample is for UHF. I don't have and can not find a VHF sample codeplug. I found someone had one posted here, but it also does not show the RAS section under Security. What am I missing to get this enabled? Any assistance would be appreciated. I am using CPS 16.0 with radios that have not been changed or updated for 4-5 years, so firmware is around 1.09. Is it a firmware issue? Thanks!

What firmware version is in your XPR4550 radio? I think you are going to find that you need to bring the Firmware up to date before you will see RAS as an available feature. Hope you're still using CPS 16....

If RAS is showing up on a sample codeplug but not the one for your radio, it is very likely the radio might have a version of the firmware installed that pre-dates RAS. You will need to update your radio. Current firmware version for the 4550's is 1.12.17 & Codeplug version 13.02.03

Updating firmware to 1.12.17 did work, thank you for the replies! Just have to do a lot more of them now.
