Once an upgrade starts, do not close the application until the status of all initiated upgrades

changes to Upgrade not needed, Upgrade successful or Upgrade failed. If you close the

application too soon, the status of some units may not display correctly when the application

restarts. These units may include those which had errors during the upgrade process. The

application can be safely closed after the status of all units has been resolved and you have

corrected any errors.

Editing a Configuration File

You can use a configuration file to identify the units you want to upgrade. A configuration file

is a pipe-delimited text file that identifies the IP addresses and the password used to login to

the set top boxes. (When upgrading with a configuration file, each set top box can have a

Upgrade individual

unit Upgrade a single unit. Select the

radio button and click Start

Upgrade. A popup will prompt

fixed and cannot be changed.

Note that all STBs selected for upgrade must have the same

password.
