Software Upgrade Overview

pçÑíï~êÉ=réÖê~ÇÉ=lîÉêîáÉï

Firmware files for the PresentationPRO-II system are loaded into the hardware at power- up. These files are stored in the unit’s onboard flash memory, which can be accessed by using one of the following two methods:

•Serial — this method is the easiest to set up and use. The PC connection is made through the Serial 1 port on the PresentationPRO-II rear panel, in conjunction with the “Flash Loader” utility supplied with each upgrade.

•Ethernet — this method uses the rear panel’s Ethernet port in conjunction with a small network consisting of a PC (or Laptop), a network hub and the PresentationPRO-II unit. However, this method still requires a serial port to be connected.

Note

The Ethernet method is twice as fast as the Serial method. Using Serial takes approximately 6 minutes, while using Ethernet takes approximately 3 minutes.

The Flash Loader utility enables you to update the Flash memory with the latest software revision. The utility should be run from a PC’s hard drive (recommended).

Each upgrade method is discussed in the following sections:

•Serial Upgrade Method

•Ethernet Upgrade Method
