NOTES: � The activate and commit stages reboot the controller. This results in two
considerations:
• The upgrade file in the temporary storage area of the controller codec is
erased. Extron recommends that you:
• Prepare all devices first (the upgrade page displays the
READYTOACTIVATE message.
• Then activate the upgrade on each device (the upgrade page displays
the READYTOCOMMIT message), starting with the controller VNC 325.
If you inadvertently activate the upgrade in the controller codec before all
devices are prepared, upload the file again (see below).
• There is a temporary loss of the network interface. Wait 30 seconds to
allow the VNC 325 to reboot, then refresh the browser.
� Perform the activate stage on the controller codec first to ensure that the new
firmware controls the upgrade of the remaining devices. Extron recommends
that you activate all devices (the upgrade page displays the READYTOCOMMIT
message) before committing to the controller upgrade.
Uploading the upgrade to the controller codec
Upload the file to a temporary storage area on the controller VNC 325 in accordance with
the procedure below. From this location, it can be installed on all codecs in the system.
1. Login to the network interface (see “Startup and Login“ in the “Installation and
Setup” section).
2. On the device list page, click anywhere on the row (except the Delete column) for the
controlling VNC 325 to select that codec to receive the firmware upload (a on figure 43).
