SOFTWARE UPDATING
Software updates will be managed and completed using the internet for each individual EDT. Software updates will be
handled through the software management service of an external technology partner. This service will manage each
EDT kit account based on the Dealer code and terminal identification. A dealership will be able to access and receive
software updates only for the AGCO brands the dealership has a contractual agreement to sell and service.
To complete all software updates a standard internet connection is required. No specialized modems or converter
equipment are required. High-speed connections are preferred, but not required. Slower speed connections will have
performance impacts but not functional restrictions.
The following options are available to the dealership that has no connection to the internet at the Dealership location:
•
Obtain an internet connection at an alternate location outside away from the dealership. This connection can be
completed with a wireless or LAN connection cable using the on-board connection capabilities of the EDT
diagnostic terminal.
•
Obtain and install a cellular telephone connection card into the EDT diagnostic terminal (Modular Expansion
System). The dealership will have to subscribe to a provider network for connection and data transfer to the
internet.
To check for software updates:
•
Turn on the diagnostic terminal.
NOTE: The EDT can be updated using the diagnostic terminal alone or inserted in the docking station.
•
Make sure the EDT application is shut down.
•
Connect the diagnostic terminal to the internet.

Look for the update process notification icon on the desk top.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT disconnect or shut down the diagnostic terminal as data is being downloaded.
NOTE: When connected to the internet, the EDT checks for updates every 15 minutes.
FIG.39
After the download has been completed, a popup is shown which allows the user to decide whether or not to install the
update now or wait one hour to be prompted again. After selecting the OK icon (1), the system will start installation.
