Problem updating radio to V3. Wants to connect to internet to complete licensing. 



Pop out box shows:

Serial: 3818-0512-6400-1032,

 Max Licensed Version: v2,

 Radio ID: 00-1C-2D-05-0A-96,

 Radio IP: 169.254.4.156,

 Radio Internet: None!

 Radio Firmware: v3.0.19.119

have flex hard wired to router port.
Tried bypassing router, no change.

What am I not doing correctly.

Thank You

    Ed,

    The message about needing to connect the radio to the internet shows up when the radio doesn't think it has internet access.  The IP address starting with 169.x says that the radio currently believes it is in a link local (direct connect) state.  If you change the network connection, you'll need to reboot the radio for the changes to take effect in the radio.

    Once you have purchased a license, if you plug the radio back into the router and reboot, I suspect this will take care of the internet message.

    Since your radio is not direct connected to your network, you should bridge your WiFi network to your wired port on you laptop. Used this procedure that’s posted in the Helpdesk help section. https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003741486-Enabling-Network-Bridging-for-Link-Local-direct-connected-FLEX-6000s Once you have the bridge setup, don’t forget to remove the DC from the radio, so it can retrieve an IP address. Let us know how you are doing. Dudley WA5QPZ

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
