Finding and installing
UpCon firmware – OS X
You can download the latest version of the Up-
Con firmware from:
tcelectronic.com/support/software/
►
On this page, locate the “UpCon” section.
►
In this section of the support page, look for
“Firmware” and click the button representing
the latest version of the UpCon firmware.
Depending on your browser type and con-
figuration, a dialog may be shown asking you
what you want to do with this file. Choose
“Save”.
The software will be downloaded to your
browser’s default download location. Usually,
this is the “Downloads” folder for your user
account.
►
Go to the folder containing the file you just
downloaded.
►
If you are seeing a .ZIP file, double-click it to
extract its contents. However, your browser
may already have extracted the contents from
the .ZIP file automatically.
►
After the ZIP file has been extracted, you will
see a .tca file in the Finder.
In the next steps, you will select this .tca file in
the TC Icon software to transfer it to UpCon.
For the first example, we will assume that you
have left the file at its default position (the
“Downloads” folder).
If you have moved the downloaded .tca file
somewhere else, or if you intend to use a .tca
file on a network or USB drive, you will have to
specify the correct path in the “Common Soft-
ware Update Folder” field of TC Icon software
accordingly (see “Locating the UpCon firmware
file – example 2” on page 80).
►
Connect your Mac to the UpCon that you
want to update using an Ethernet cable.
►
Launch the TC Icon software on your Mac.
►
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.
