VBrick Systems MPEG-4 manual Additional Upgrade Steps for Local Mode, Verifying the File Transfer

System Upgrade

6. If only one file is present, just type rm <file name>.

Verifying the File Transfer

There are two ways to indicate the progress of the transfer. Once the update is complete, the Web Administration program shows the version number in the upper right corner. You can also verify file transfer success using the command prompt:

TTo check the version number using the command prompt:

1.Press Ctrl-Alt-F1on the set top box.

2.Type tasteversion to display the version number.

3.Press Ctrl-Alt-F2to return to the STB user interface.

Additional Upgrade Steps for Local Mode

The Local mode user interface may have been customized at your site and the upgrade process does not overwrite the local user interface in order to save your changes. If you use the local user interface provided by VBrick, and are upgrading an existing set top box, the system update will not be complete until you perform the following steps.

TTo activate all new Local user interface features and functionality, you must perform the following steps after you finish the upgrade as described above.

1.Gain access to a shell on the box using one of the following methods.

a.Ctrl-Alt-F1from the keyboard;

b.The serial shell;

c.Telnet.

2.If you want to preserve changes made to the user interface in Local mode, move the files

you have changed (most likely XM and HTM files) to the /wfs directory from the /wfs/

localui directory. For example: mv /wfs/localui/stbLocalUIData.xml /wfs

3.Execute the following command rm –rf /wfs/localui

4.Reboot STB by typing reboot –f

If you did not move any files in Step 2 above, you are done. If you did move files in Step 2 above, continue with the following steps.

5.Since you may have lost the shell on reboot, regain shell access.

6.Note that the /wfs/localui directory once again exists.

7.For each file moved to /wfs in Step 2 above, move the equivalent file now in /wfs/ localui to its name with a _build37xx suffix added. These files can be examined for model code on how to implement new features. For example:

mv /wfs/localui/stbLocalUIData.xml /wfs/localui/stbLocalUIData.xml_build37xx

8.For each file moved to /wfs in Step 2 above, move it back into the /wfs/localui

directory. For example: mv /wfs/stbLocalUIData.xml /wfs/localui
