XPR7550 & Wifi programming

[IK4SWW]

Hi all,

after the CPS 2 has removed the possibility to programming the radio XPR7550 with Bluetooth, has anyone have successfull to programming the radio with Wifi using the CPS 2 ?
I'm not so expert of network in general, but I seem to understand that when you use the programming cable the radio assumes an IP address on your home network; so why it shouldn't be possible to use the wifi instead of the cable. Sorry if my idea is senseless, but I am not so expert of PC networking.

Thanks
Massimo

It can't be done with CPS 2.0

The only wireless programming option is Over The Air Programming (OTAP) which can only be done with Radio Management 2.0 (RM) software either via a MOTOTRBO DMR repeater with NAI data (code HKVN4212) installed; or via a gateway radio using DDMS software.

For reference: MOTOTRBO Over The Air Programming OTAP Bundle

Quite honestly, it's overkill for a handfull of radios. But for 12 or more, OTAP is essential.

You need to use the Radio Management application for WiFi programming.

I set up Wifi programming for about 150 public works trucks. Initially, they were programmed for analog. On cut over day, set up an access point by the gas pumps. As they came in to fuel up, the radios reprogrammed. Worked like a champ.

The Harris RPM2 package natively supports programming their XL series over wifi. Once you've got it figured out it works great.

As usual, while Motorola may make the better radio, Harris has the better programming software. A truth I eventuall came to concede.

Motorola could learn a lot from Harris.
