Densite Upgrade Manager
window, and click the down-arrow in the
Available package
column.
The pulldown list should include the new upgrade package that you uploaded to the appserver or PC in the
previous step.
Version XYZ appears in the
list
as:
X.Y.Z-RC-N
where N is the package’s Release number. This is only used to differentiate the package with a beta version that
may exist.

Available package
pulldown list.

The Select/Bypass checkbox will be selected for that card.

columns will show the upgrade path that is
proposed; i.e. the existing version, and the version that will replace it.

Densite Upgrade Manager
window will become enabled.
Multiple SME-1901/SME-1911 cards can be upgraded simultaneously by selecting the upgrade package for each.

Observe the
Install Progress
window to see the current status of the upgrade. While the upgrade is in progress,
the card LED is Yellow.
When the upgrade has been completed, the window will display the message “Upgrade succeeded” on a green

10. Close the
Densite Upgrade Manager
window by clicking the
icon in the upper right corner.
11. In iControl, double-click on the updated SME-1901/SME-1911 card’s icon to open its control panel. Enable the
streaming ports that were previously disabled in step 2. If the IP address was modified for the upgrade, set it to
the previous IP address. The procedure is now complete for this card.
Alternate upgrade procedure:
If the recommended procedure is not possible, an alternate upgrade method exists when firmware version 1.2.0 or
later is already installed in the SME-1901/SME-1911. The procedure does not require the rear panel Ethernet port so
no changes have to be done to the equipment. This upgrade process will take approximately two hours per card.
Although the iControl card panel will not be available during the upgrade, the SME-1901/SME-1911 remains
functional until the end of the process at which time the card is automatically rebooted.
The software utility used to upgrade the SME-1901/SME-1911 is called
Miranda Interface Updater
. It is available in
iControl Navigator (appserver) v4.x, iControl Solo v4.x, or as a stand-alone Java application. Contact Grass Valley to
obtain the stand-alone application.
