Software Upgrade Overview
pçÑíï~êÉ=réÖê~ÇÉ=lîÉêîáÉï
Firmware files for the Encore Presentation System are loaded into the hardware at power-
up. These files are stored in the unit’s onboard flash memory, which can be upgraded
using a serial or Ethernet connection to a PC (or laptop).
The desired connection is made through the Console or Ethernet port on the Controller’s
rear panel, in conjunction with the “Flash Loader” utility supplied with each upgrade. The
Flash Loader enables you to update the Flash memory with the latest software revision.
The utility should be run from a PC’s hard drive (recommended).
