1.2Upgrading the IP AutoDome

Use the following instructions to update the CPU or IP communications module firmware to an IP AutoDome (100, 200, 300 or 500i Series) over a TCP/IP network.

The preferred method to update an IP AutoDome is through a direct connection between the AutoDome and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the IP AutoDome directly to the Ethernet port of a PC.

If the direct-connect method is not practical you can also update the IP AutoDome through a Local Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the IP AutoDome through a Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.

The upgrade process for a VG4 100 Series AutoDome differs from the process to upgrade a VG4 200, 300 or 500i Series AutoDome. Refer to the next section (Section 1.3 Upgrading the VG4 100 Series AutoDome) to update a VG4 100 Series IP AutoDome. Refer to

Section 1.4 Determining Minimum Requirements (200, 300, 500i Series) to start the update process for a VG4 200, 300, or 500i Series IP AutoDome.
