2. Configure the Global Setting
The next step is to enable the Set Upgrade Server Page functionality (which is disabled by
default). To enable the this feature go to
System Settings > Global Settings
on the Mystro
server and check the
Set Upgrade Server Page URL on MFSTB
box. The
Upgrade Server Page
URL
(as explained below) defines the path to the default upgrade server. If you ever need to
replace the
Upgrade Server Page URL
the default is:
http://myMFSTBUpgradeServer/STB/MFSTB_Upgrade/UPG/upgrade/upgrade.html
3. Configure the Upgrade Server URL in VEMS
After enabling the upgrade server functionality, you will need to configure the upgrade server
URL. There are two ways to proceed: you can (1) configure a DNS entry to point to your
VEMS server (using
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
) or you (2) can manually set the upgrade server
URL and path.
Configuring a DNS Entry
The VEMS Mystro 6.x software includes an STB upgrade server configured for use in an
environment where there is a DNS entry (
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
) that points to the VEMS
Mystro server. If you configure a DNS entry for
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
that points to your
VEMS server you can go to Step 2a below and set the file name.
Configure the Upgrade Server URL and Path
If you don't have a DNS server (or don't make a DNS entry for
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
) you
will have to modify the STB configuration in two different places:
1. You will need to modify the
Upgrade Server Page URL
parameter (shown in bold) on the
Global Settings page to point to the VEMS server URL. For example:
http://
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
/STB/MFSTB_Upgrade/UPG/upgrade/upgrade.html
2. You will also need to edit the
upgrade_path.xml
file on the VEMS server so that the
value in the
<upgPath>
tag points to the STB image file installed on the VEMS server. On
a 64-bit server, the file path is:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\VBrick\Maduro\STB\MFSTB_Upgrade\UPG\upgrade\upgrade_path.xml
a. Right-click on
upgrade_path.xml
, select
Open with
Notepad, and note the following
code:
<!-- The HTTP transfer option is used here, the ftp is commented out -->
<upgPath>http://
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
/STB/MFSTB_Upgrade/
XTV125_1251.1501.0020.6553_1.0.7.img
</upgPath>
b. Replace
myMFSTBUpgradeServer
with the IP address or DNS host name of the VEMS
server.
c. Replace
XTV125_1251.1501.0020.6553_1.0.7.img
with
XTV125D_1255.1501.0026.8066_2.0.1.img
(or the latest MF STB name/version).
