APPENDIX A: Software Upgrades
Introduction
This chapter describes how to download a software update file to your computer,
transfer it to a USB flash drive and install the updated into an iVAM1-12G.
Download the Software
The iVAM1-12G software update can be found at http://www.wohler.com , under
Product Downloads on the Products > iVAM1-12G page, in Support > Downloads >
Drivers & Software, or contact Wohler Customer Support for more information.
Unzip the downloaded update files to reveal two files. One will have a suffix of
.wx
and the other will have a suffix of
.md5sum
. Both files are needed for the upgrade.
Update Methods
There are several software update methods. Select one of them, depending upon
your needs:
1. Local update from the front panel of the iVAM1-12G: This straightforward
method does not require the use of the Web GUI. A flash drive containing the
update is plugged into the front panel USB socket and the update is then
accomplished using the self-contained menu system. If this method seems
most suitable, then refer to the
Local Update from the Front Panel section of
this chapter.
2. Remote update using the Web GUI with a flash drive connected to the
iVAM1-12G: It may be more convenient to update the product using a flash
drive plugged into its front panel USB socket, but controlled remotely via the
Web GUI. To update the product this way, refer to the
Updating via the Web
GUI section of this chapter.
3. Remote update without a flash drive: This method allows you to update a
networked iVAM1-12G remotely without plugging a flash drive into its front
panel USB socket. To update the product this way, refer to the
Updating an
iVAM1-12G Remotely section of this chapter.
4. Update multiple units remotely at once: This method allows you to update
multiple networked iVAM1-12G units at once, without plugging flash drives
into their front panel USB sockets. To update products this way, refer to the
Updating Multiple iVAM1-12G Units Remotely section of this chapter.
