Reboot
Uploading a Hardware Profile automatically reboots the SOFIA
567. There may be other circumstances under which you might
want to reboot the unit manually. This can be done by clicking
Reboot in the Configuration area.
A manual reboot does not change any settings or dump any ac-
cumulated off-air data, it’s simply the same as doing a local
power cycle. The SOFIA 567 will come back tuned to the same
station and with all settings as they were.
However, at any time you wish to ‘clean house’ and restore all
settings and preferences to factory values, click:
Load Factory
Defaults
. In this case you will lose your settings, except for IP
settings (to maintain access to the unit), so doing a Hardware
Profile download first might be a good idea.
Updating
Firmware
SOFIA 567 firmware includes the Web interface pages, and up-
dates are easily uploaded to the unit when issued by Inovonics.
NOTE: We recommend saving a fresh Hardware Profile, as a
firmware update may affect user settings. If there is danger of
compromising stored data, the firmware update will include
notes to that effect.
Updates are issued as small .bin files which may be downloaded
to your computer Desktop or placed in any convenient folder.
From the
Firmware Update
utility at the bottom of the
Admin
screen, click
Select Firmware File…
Then navigate to where the
file’s been stored and double-click the .bin file listing. This will
transfer the file to the updater as shown below.
With the name of
the new .bin show-
ing in the storage
folder
File
listing,
click
Update Firm-
ware
and follow
the prompts to
complete the pro-
cess. Updating
takes a couple of
minutes and will
return you to the
new Web interface
pages once the op-
eration is complete.
