will allow you to locate the file in TC Icon soft-
ware more easily.
►
After extracting the ZIP file, you will see a .tca
file in Windows Explorer.
In the next steps, you will select this .tca file in
the TC Icon software to transfer it to UpCon.
We
will assume that you have extracted the con-
tent of the ZIP archive to C:\UC\.
If you have
extracted it to another location, you will have to
specify this in the “Common Software Update
Folder” field accordingly (see below).
►
Connect your PC to the UpCon that you want
to update using an Ethernet cable.
►
Launch the TC Icon software on your PC.
►
In the TC Icon software, select the UpCon
that you want to update.
►
Go to the Frame / System / Setup / Version
page.
Here, you will find the current software ver-
sion of your UpCon (shown as “UpCon SW
Version”). Note this version number.
►
Go to the Frame / System / Setup / Update
page.
►
Click into the “Common Software Update
Folder” field.
►
Enter the path to the folder where the down-
loaded .tca file is located.
Example:
Assuming that…
– your hard disk drive has the letter c:\
– you extracted the downloaded .tca file to
the folder “UC” on the drive root (see pre-
vious steps)
…the correct path would be:
C:\UC\
►
Click Enter. You will be returned to the previ-
ous screen.
The name of the .tca file you downloaded
should now be displayed right under the
“Common Software Update Folder” field.
►
If you want to make sure you have selected
the correct file before applying the update,
you can select the downloaded software file
and click the “File Info” button to display ad-
ditional information.
►
To apply the update, select the downloaded
.tca file and click the “Update SW” button.
►
Confirm that you want to perform the update
by clicking the “Yes” button.
►
A confirmation message will be shown once
the update has been applied.
Click “OK”.
►
Go to the Frame / System / Setup / Version
page and note the updated software version.
! Please note that a folder may contain mul-
tiple .tca files, which will be shown on the
Frame / System / Setup / Update page when
that folder is selected. Be sure to select the
correct file – usually, the most current one.
! If you experience technical problems during
software download or installation, please ask
a person with administrator privileges on this
PC for assistance.
