Chapter 19: Upgrading the Vdex Firmware
Before programming your new Vdex system you should check to see if an update to a
newer version is available. The Vdex system is constantly evolving and in many cases
improvements or fixes to reported problems may already be available in the latest
firmware update.
To upgrade the Vdex firmware, click on the
Services
tab. Next to the update firmware
button is the web address where the firmware will be obtained. The default value is:
http://downloads.technoco.biz/vdex40/firmware/usa
Change the “usa” to “amanda” to obtain the latest Amanda firmware update for the Vdex
40 system (as seen in figure 24a).
Next, click the
Update Firmware
button.
You’ll be prompted to please wait… Allow up to
15 minutes for the firmware update to be completed. Figure 24b shows what you’ll see
after the firmware update has completed successfully. After the upgrade is complete,
you
MUST
reboot the Vdex system to finish the upgrade process. Click the ok button to
close the information window, and then click the
Reboot
button.
