5. Upgrading Firmware

Firmware Upgrade Overview

cáêãï~êÉ=réÖê~ÇÉ=lîÉêîáÉï

Firmware files for the DX-700 system are loaded into the hardware at power-up. These

files are stored in the unit’s onboard flash memory. They can be upgraded using an

Ethernet connection to a PC (or laptop) that is running Director Toolset. The PC

connection is made through the Ethernet port on DX-700’s rear panel.

e~êÇï~êÉ=oÉèìáêÉãÉåíë

The following hardware items are required for upgrading DX-700:

•IBM compatible computer with an available Ethernet port.

`çãéìíÉê=~åÇ=açïåäç~Ç=oÉèìáêÉãÉåíë

The following list outlines computer and download requirements for upgrading the DX-700:

•Ensure that your laptop uses the Windows® 2000 or XP operating systems.

•Ensure that the Director Toolset is installed on the PC or laptop.

•Contact Barco Technical Support for information on the location from which the

DX-700 upgrade files can be downloaded, and the proper filename. In

Appendix C, refer to the “Contact Information” section on page204 for details.

Use the following steps to upgrade DX-700 firmware using the Director Toolset:

1. Ensure that your PC uses the Windows® 2000 or XP operating systems.

2. Ensure that Director Toolset is version 2.0 or later.

3. Connect the DX-700’s Ethernet port to a Switch.

4. Connect the Switch to your PC. Remember that a totally “local” network is

recommended, without IP connections to the outside world.

5. Power-up the DX-700 and use the Ethernet Menu to note its IP address.

6. Change the IP address if required. In Chapter 4, refer to the procedure outlined in

the “Using the Ethernet Menu” section on page 142.

7. To upgrade firmware:

a. Using Director Toolset, start the Flash Update module. On the Menu

Bar, click Modules and select Flash Update. This action opens the

Flash Update Window.

b. For DX-700, create a package folder as follows:

<install directory>\Flashfiles\DX700 package <version>

... where <version> is the version of the main code.
