1.2 Upgrading the IP AutoDome
Use the following instructions to update the CPU or IP communications module firmware to an
IP AutoDome (100, 200, 300 or 500i Series) over a TCP/IP network.
The preferred method to update an IP AutoDome is through a direct connection between the
AutoDome and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the IP AutoDome
directly to the Ethernet port of a PC.
If the direct-connect method is not practical you can also update the IP AutoDome through a
Local Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the IP AutoDome through a Wide
Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.
The upgrade process for a VG4 100 Series AutoDome differs from the process to upgrade a
VG4 200, 300 or 500i Series AutoDome. Refer to the next section (Section 1.3 Upgrading the
VG4 100 Series AutoDome) to update a VG4 100 Series IP AutoDome. Refer to
Section 1.4 Determining Minimum Requirements (200, 300, 500i Series) to start the update
process for a VG4 200, 300, or 500i Series IP AutoDome.
