FIRMWARE UPGRADE & RECOVERY

12. Firmware Upgrade & Recovery

In this chapter we explain the firmware upgrade process and where to get firmware files. We also discuss the procedure for

recovering to a previous firmware version or resetting the username & password if it is ever necessary.

FYI:

In this guide, reference to DigiVu infers DigiVu 3RU, DigiVu CD 3RU and DigiVu Mini 1RU

unless the model is specifically stated. Reference to DVIS is synonymous with DigiVu as these
products run on the same firmware.

New system firmware for the DigiVu platforms is provided in an archive file format of .tgz in a zip container and will be made

available on the ATX Networks support site for each model of the DigiVu family, see

“Where to Obtain Firmware Files” on page

12-3

to obtain the firmware. The DigiVu family uses a common firmware and it technically does not matter which support site

the firmware is obtained from. It is not necessary to un-compress the tgz package as the DigiVu has built-in facilities to accept

the file in tgz format. The tgz file is provided from ATX Networks support site in a zip format, so it will be necessary to un-zip

the file downloaded first. The name of the zip file and the tgz file inside will be the same except for the extension and both will

be named with the firmware version number. If you require a program to unzip the file, an open source file archiver may be

obtained for free at the

site.

12.2 Types of Firmware Files

A brief description of the files that may be found on the support web sites.

12.2.1 System Upgrade/Recovery File

This is a file that is used to bring the DigiVu up to the latest firmware revision and is referred to as a firmware upgrade. This file

may be used even if the equipment has a very old version of firmware installed as it completely replaces all files on the DigiVu

platform and works with any previously installed version. This file can also be used to reinstall the latest firmware revision on

an already upgraded device if there is suspicion that the firmware might not be working as expected and this application of the

same file would be referred to as a system recovery. This is the most commonly installed file type and is installed in the same

manner regardless of the end requirement. The following attributes apply to this file type:

•

Can be used to upgrade any firmware version or when existing version is unknown.

•

Fully replaces existing firmware.

•

Suitable only when unit is physically available (cannot be applied remotely).

•

Used to recover network parameters, login credentials or after mis-configuration.

•

IP parameters and login passwords are reset to factory default.

•

Requires full re-configuration of all channel parameters.

12.2.2 Remote Upgrade

This file type may be applied to the equipment even if it is remotely located. This firmware may be installed over a limited range

of previous firmware so check the support site for qualifying existing versions.

•

Usable for minor firmware changes. Check the support site for qualifying existing versions.

•

Suitable when the unit is remotely located.

•

IP parameters and login credentials are not changed.
