Updating your 8700i’s Software
The software version number of PC Remote must be the same as the version number
of the software running within your 8700i. If the software version of PC Remote is
higher than the version running in your 8700i, PC Remote will automatically detect
this and will offer to update your 8700i’s software automatically.
1. If you have not already done so, prepare your computer and the 8700i for a direct
serial, modem, or Ethernet connection.
See Networking and Remote Control starting on page 2-63.
2. Install the latest version of 8700i PC Remote software on your computer.
