Maintenance
Firmware upload:
The VIP X1 is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters can be
updated with firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the
unit via the selected network. It will then be automatically installed there.
In this way, a VIP X1 can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician
having to change the installation on site.
You obtain the current firmware from your customer service or from the down-
load area on our Internet site.
Caution
Before launching the firmware upload make sure that you have selected
the correct upload file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no
longer being addressable, in which case you must replace the unit.
You should never interrupt the installation of firmware. An interruption can
lead to the faulty programming of the flash-EPROM. This in turn can result
in the unit no longer being addressable, in which case it will have to be
replaced.
– First store the firmware file on your hard drive.
– Enter the full path of the firmware file in the field or click Browse... button to
locate and select the file.
– Next, click Upload to begin transferring the file to the unit. The progress bar
allows you to monitor the transfer.
The new firmware is unpacked and the Flash EPROM is reprogrammed.
The time remaining is shown by the message going to reset Reconnecting
in ... seconds. The unit restarts automatically once the upload has successfully
completed.
