Updating Your SIR 30 Control Unit to Allow For Remote
Updates
This section describes how to use the maintenance utility to prepare the SIR 30 control unit to allow for
remote updates. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that this method will work for all future
updates. However, we have seen good and consistent results using this method at GSSI.
Requirements
SIR 30 Control Unit with
HDMI Monitor
HDMI Cable
USB Keyboard
USB Mouse
SIR 30 Maintenance Utility (obtained since the release of version 1.0.8.6)
Instructions
1
Make certain you have a current version of the SIR 30 maintenance utility. Follow section obtaining
the latest SIR 30 maintenance utilities distribution if you have not already done so.
2
Connect SIR 30 to Monitor keyboard and mouse and turn on the SIR 30 control unit. Wait for it to
turn on.
3
Connect SIR 30 Maintenance Utility to one of the available USB ports.
4
Click Open folder to view files.
5
Run the SIR 30 Maintenance Tools.exe.
6
Navigate to the Network tab.
7
Click the button Setup Shares. When run on a SIR 30 control unit you will open up shares for the
program directory. If you run this on a client/laptop computer, it will create a share to RADARDATA
on your C: drive.
In the future when you update SIR 30 software on the client, you will automatically push those updates to
the SIR 30 control unit. During a software update from the client you will see messages in the
Maintenance Tool such as the following if the remote update is working correctly. Here you see the file
list after the client is updated. (You will also get a final message box indicating update success or that
update files were not pushed to the system and the update failed.)
