Installation Instructions

1. Copy OS.NEW to the Compact Flash card.
2. Insert the Compact Flash card and the unit will begin the update process. If you did not remove the compact flash card (transferred the file via FTP), reset the unit or choose System->Update from the LCD menu.
3. Wait for Update to complete. You will see the following LED sequence:
UPDATE OS - Solid GREEN LED
CLEARING MEMORY - Solid ORANGE LED
WRITING DATA - Blinking GREEN LED
4. Once complete, the current firmware version can be checked on the LCD menu under System->Version.

NOTE:

When the update is complete, the OS.NEW file will be renamed to OS.SAV so that the update does not repeat when the hardware is powered-up again. If you want to use a single flash card to update multiple units, you can change the name of the OS.NEW file to FACTORY.NEW.
The FACTORY.NEW file will perform an update just like OS.NEW, only it will not be renamed at the end of the update process. This means that after an update, you can remove the flash card from the product and insert it into another product to perform another update.

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.
