LTE Swap facilitates the upgrade process from 2G or 3G cellular technology Mobiltex RMU2 and RMU3 units to corresponding pre-purchased LTE units. It helps transfer all settings and configuration data which allows for a quick and simple swap process. If needed, it will also update the firmware of the unit it is connecting to before completing the swap process to ensure that the most up to date software is being used. The RMU2 process consists of: 1. Plug in old RMU2 antenna and base to the programmer (RBT1 or RMU123PGM) 2. Run the app, login to your corView account and press "Start" 3. Select your programmer from the list of available devices 4. Wait for the app to read in all the settings and update the programmer and RMU2 (if required) 5. Unplug the old antenna plug in the new antenna 6. The app will then communicate with the corView servers to complete the swap process 7. The user can then send a confirmation email of the swap process for their archives The RMU3 process consists of: 1. Plug in old RMU3 antenna and base to the programmer (RBT1 or RMU123PGM) 2. Run the app, login to your corView account and press "Start" 3. Select your programmer from the list of available devices 4. Wait for the app to read in all the settings and update the programmer 5. Unplug the old antenna plug in the new antenna 6. Wait for the app to update the RMU3 and write in the settings of the old unit 7. The app will then communicate with the corView servers to complete the swap process 8.
