5.3.10. Upgrade
In this section, you find:
The
Ping
button allows you to send a ping request to a Web site. It's useful if you want to
know whether the MR has Internet connectivity. If you can ping a well-known Web site (e.g.
wikipedia.org
), if it succeeds, the Internet connection is working.
The
Upgrade from remote server
part is used to do an upgrade of the MR's firmware. The
MR needs an Internet connection for that. In order to upgrade to a new firmware, you need
to know the URL for this upgrade. This is provided by SYSCOM when a new firmware is
issued. For example:
firmware.syscom-instruments.com/mr3000/2.0.6/mr3000-main-upgrade.json
Once you entered this URL in the field, click on the
Start
button. Upgrade takes 1 to 2
minutes, but it can be longer if the Internet connection is slow. The MR must not turned off
during the upgrade process. If an error happens, a message will be displayed on the LCD
screen of the MR.
The
Upgrade from files
feature allows to flash a new firmware directly from your PC,
without Internet access on the MR. The internet access is needed only on your PC. In this
case, please open a browser on your PC and insert the URL given by Syscom but without
the final part. For example:
Entire URL:
firmware.syscom-instruments.com/mr3000/2.0.6/mr3000-main-upgrade.json
To be inserted in the browser:
firmware.syscom-instruments.com/mr3000/2.0.
Then download the 6 files on your PC and successively upload them on the section
“Upgrade from files”. If the extension
.txt
is automatically added by your operating system
(e.g. Windows), the please delete it.
NOTE: It is recommended to upgrade the MR3000 at the end of a monitoring session.
