Possible problems when updating from older Frame Controller firmware
If you can not reach the GUI via an actual browser you must do a little trick to update the frame
controller. You must reboot the C8702 by briefly pressing the
<INIT>
button (or rebooting it from the
console interface). After approx. 60sec (boot up time) you should open the browser again and enter the
URL:
http://<C8702-IP-address>/standalone-update.html
The following page will open:
Proceed with the image update as described above. When finished you will get a pop up, saying the
update was o.k. (it takes approx. 4 - 5 mins – be patient pls.).
Important Note!
There was a change in the way the Frame Controller image is sent from the PC
to overcome a possible bottleneck of non-fragmented RAM. If you update from an older version (< 2660)
you should reboot the Frame Controller before starting the image update. This will ensure that there is
enough non-fragmented RAM for the existing update procedure.
If the Frame Controller reboots with the old firmware you must use the "
-a
" image:
(example) "rel_c8702_1_17_8-28002
-a
.img".
In rare events (if you come from a very old firmware it might be necessary that the update is performed
in a two tier approach: First use the "
minimal
" image:
"rel_c8702_
minimal
_image_1_0_1-30583.img" (the image number may change over time) and as a
second step update the actual release.
