C. Upgrade System Firmware

Customers can frequently check the appropriate product folder on our web site to download the latest firmware. Only administrators can upgrade the system firmware of Video Server.

Easy way via Installation Wizard

Run the Upgrade Wizard included in the product CDROM and proceed by the prompts. Refer to the user's guide of Installation Wizard for details.

When Video Server starts writing firmware, both status LED indicators will stay on until system restarts. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds. User must keep the power stable during the update process. After the system restarts, Video Server may need installation depending on whether the “Reset network at next boot” option is enabled or not. After Video Server boots up, reload the web page in the browser.

If power fails during the software upgrade, the program in the memory of Video

Server may be destroyed permanently. If Video Server cannot restart properly, ask the dealer for technical service.
