B4/C4 Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 2: Installation
• You can only upgrade one device type: e.g., you can add a
series of HMX6801
+
modules that all reside at different IP
addresses.
The selected devices appear in the table on the New Transfer tab of
the Software Upgrade window. This table lists devices that are to
receive the upgrade package.
You can click on an individual item in the list to view
module-specific information:
• To highlight the position of a module in the Navigation
window , click Find Device .
• To check the module’s software revision numbers, etc., click
Version Info .
• To create an automatic backup of the selected module’s
firmware, click
Device Options... . (Place a check beside
Software Backup and enter a file name or click Browse to
choose a new file location.)
9. Press Browse... to select the software upgrade package (ZIP file).
A standard Windows File Selection dialog opens.
10. Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive.
The selected file’s path name is displayed in the edit box to the left
of the
Browse… button.
The extraction process on the ZIP file is handled as part of the
upgrade process. You do not need to extract the files yourself.
11. Press Submit Transfer...
A dialog box opens, requesting confirmation that you want to
proceed with the request. If you have multiple devices selected,
multiple transfer tasks are submitted—one per device.
The transfer now progresses. You may close the Software Upgrade
window, continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to
view the status of the transfers.
12. Click on the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that
all files have correctly updated.
13. When the update is complete, reboot the HMX6801
+
module by
manually pulling it out and then pushing it back into its slot in the
frame.
You cannot click Reboot Device to reboot HMX6801
+
modules.
Note
Closing the Software Upgrade
window does not effect any
transfer processes that may be
running in the background.
However, if you try to log off or
exit the CCS software while a
transfer is underway, a
notification window will alert
you that processes are still
active and will ask if you want
to terminate these processes.
