Revision 1.2

4.2.1 Updating VistaLINK® with a New JAR File

The VistaLINK

Pro client provides an interactive and visual interface to configure and monitor the tally

router. This interface is stored in a

JAR

file. The

JAR

file for the 7800TR-32X24 is named

“

VLProProd_7700TR.jar

”. In order to recognize and display the graphical configuration for the tally

router, Vista

LINK

Pro must first be updated with this

JAR

file. Future versions of Vista

LINK

Pro will

have the 7800TR-32X24

JAR

built-in, however newer versions of the

JAR

will occasionally be released

by Evertz, usually in conjunction with new versions of firmware.

To see which version of the JAR is being used, open the Vista

LINK

Pro client and select the “Tools”

menu, go to “Products” and select the “Version Information…” menu item.



It is critical that the JAR version used is matched to the firmware version of the unit,

otherwise some controls may not operate properly. All JAR updates are available on the

Evertz website (

www.evertz.com

). The 7800TR-32X24 is listed under the “Routers”

section.

Figure 4-1: Vista

LINK

® Pro Version Information

In the Version Information dialog window, all of the JAR files that are contained within the Vista

LINK

Pro client are listed on the left. Scroll down the list to the

TR7700

. Once selected, the product version

is displayed. In the example above, the JAR file version 2 is being used. If the

TR7700

does not

appear in the list, then Vista

LINK

will have to be updated.



The firmware version on the unit is shown in the Version Information dialog window.

The “Sw Build” number shows that the unit is running build 175 firmware.
