Upgrading SC5-IP models
The SC5-IP models are upgraded via global connection (through the IP
network port). Upgrades are digitally signed using a secure key. This prevents
unauthorised or altered firmware images being downloaded into the SC5-IP.
To upgrade SC-IP models
1 Obtain the latest firmware revision for the SC5-IP from LINDY and
decompress the download file. View the decompressed files and make a
note of the name and location of the
.bin
file that was part of the download
file collection.
2 Make a
global connection
to the SC5-IP unit and login as the admin user.
3 Once logged in, click the ‘Configure’ button in the top right corner of the
window.
4 Click the ‘Unit Configuration’ button.
5 Click the ‘Advanced Unit Configuration’ button.
6 Click the ‘Upgrade Firmware’
button. This dialog will be displayed:
9 Select which portion of the SC5-IP that you wish to upgrade:
• Tick the ’Main’ option to upgrade the SC5-IP unit itself.
• Tick one or more of the CAM options to include them in the upgrade
process.
10 When ready, click the ‘Perform upgrade’ button. The upgrade will take
place and its progress will be shown on screen.
11 When the upgrade is complete, click the link ‘Click here to reboot the unit
into normal operation’.
Recovering from a failed upgrade
If a problem is encountered while upgrading the SC5-IP, it is still possible to
restart the unit and attempt a new upgrade process.
To invoke backup/recovery mode
1 Remove power, press and hold the reset button (insert a thin implement
such as a straightened paper clip into the small hole next to the IP
connector) and then re-apply power. Then, release the reset button
2 Access the SC5-IP using a web browser on an IP connected system. When the
upgrade page is displayed, follow the normal instructions, except after step
10, remove and replace the power on the unit.
7 Click OK. The SC5-IP is now ready to accept the upgrade files. Open your
browser and log into the SC5-IP using the IP address that was confirmed in
the dialog. Once connected, the SC5-IP will offer the following screen:
