2.5.3 Order to Upload Files
There is a specific order in which service pack files must be uploaded to the AutoDome.
Before starting a firmware upgrade, note the current firmware version of your AutoDome
listed in the CTFID Device Information window.
Use the following file order to upload firmware to the AutoDome:
1. SC Boot: You must first upload the SC Boot file if the service pack contains a version of
the file greater than the installed version. The boot files are stored in a separate Boot
directory. Always check for and install this file before before installing the System
Configuration (SC) Main file.
Note: The SC Boot upload process erases the resident SC Main components, which
completely disables the VG4 AutoDome. When you upload the SC Boot files the CTFID
displays a message notifying the installer that the SC Main files must be reinstalled.
2. SC Main: Upload this file after uploading the SC Boot file. If the service pack does not
contain an SC Boot update, you should upload the SC Main file first.
3. FPGA: This file is uploaded along with the SC Main file.
4. Language: Certain service packs include an optional language upgrade file used to update
the VG4 AutoDome on-screen display menus. Upload this firmware file last.
2.5.4 Selecting and Uploading Firmware Files
To upload the service pack firmware, use the following procedure:
1. Check the version of the SC Boot firmware file to determine the service pack that you
must start with. See Section 2.2.2 Selecting the Service Pack, on page 15.
2. Download the service pack from the Bosch Security Systems Web site. See
Section 2.5 Uploading VG4 AutoDome Firmware Files, on page 20
3. Click the Upload Firmware button on the right side of the CTFID Main Screen.
