Upgrading the Remote Library Console

Upgrading firmware is a three-step process:

1.Download the firmware package

2.Activate the downloaded firmware currently residing in the library complex

3.Reboot the library to make the firmware operational

Note – The library has two versions of the image file residing in the flash memory. After the library completes the reboot process, the latest image becomes active and the earlier version that serves as a backup may be restored if required.

For instructions on loading new code, refer to the online help documentation accessible through the application.

PTP Configuration

The preferred method of adding a PTP is by installing the PTP and second library to the left side (as viewed from the front of the existing library). This will makes the existing library a home library. This method does not require system reconfiguration.

If a PTP and second library are added to the right side (as viewed from the front of the existing library), this would make the existing library an away library and reconfiguration is required.
