Good Morning -

I am looking at doing a firmware update on between 100 and 150 phase II radios. A mix of SL & XPR 7550s.

So I am going to put up an RM Service which if I read correctly means I can do up to 16 Device Programers at a time.

My problem is I am having trouble visualizing this. Do I need a workstation, two 8-port active USB 2.0 hubs and sixteen cables ? Or Sixteen Laptops and sixteen cables ?

If it's one workstation, all the radios are still on the 192.168.10.1 so I am confused how the workstation will see all sixteen radios, and if it does
know how to mediate the "duplicate" IPs am I going to have to answer the Network prompt each time I connect a radio to the hub ?

Next question, I maybe having brain fade but I thought I saw somewhere, and can't find now, a Motorola part # for a jig to help with this ?

So thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to share there experience(s) with this task.
