Preparing the DeviceMaster for Configuration
Uploading Protocol-Specific Firmware on the DeviceMaster
Some DeviceMaster models come from the factory with SocketServer firmware,
which provides an interface to TCP/IP socket mode configuration and services,
installed on the device.
If your DeviceMaster contains SocketServer and you want to configure one of the
following environments, you must replace SocketServer with protocol-specific
firmware.
You can download the latest firmware and corresponding documentation for your
protocol from the download site:
http://downloads.comtrol.com/html/DM_UP_Main.htm
.
If necessary, use the following procedure to update the firmware on your
DeviceMaster for the appropriate protocol. See
on Page 12, if you need to download the
.msi
file for your protocol.
Note:
If you have not done so, install PortVision DX (
Page 24) and install the firmware.msi file.
1.
Execute the
.msi
file that you downloaded for the firmware.
2.
Start PortVision DX by double-clicking the PortVision DX desktop icon or click
Start > Programs > Comtrol > PortVision DX > PortVision DX
.
3.
Right-click the device or devices for which you want to upload firmware and
click the
Advanced > Upload Firmware
menu option.
Note:
Optionally, you can highlight a device and use the
Load
button.
4.
Browse and select the protocol firmware (
.cmtl
) file and click
Open
.
