4.5 PERFORMING AN UPGRADE
Agility Zero U Transmitter modules are flash upgradeable using the method outlined here. However, for larger installations we
recommend that you use the Black Box iPath Manager to upgrade multiple Agility units. When using the method below, the Agility
Zero U Transmitter will be upgraded in sequence.
IMPORTANT: Upgrades must be performed equally on all Agility units within an installation. Mixed firmware operation is not
supported.
WARNING: During the upgrade process, ensure that power is not interrupted as this may leave the Agility Zero U Transmitter in an
inoperable state.
If the upgrade process is interrupted and fails, it may be necessary to switch to the backup firmware image in order to regain
operation. See left for details.
TO UPGRADE A SINGLE AGILITY ZERO U TRANSMITTER VIA THE NETWORK LINK
1 Download the latest upgrade file from the Black Box website.
Note: There are separate upgrade files for Agility local and remote units.
2 Temporarily connect the Agility Zero U Transmitter and a computer via a network (see
Browser-based configuration utility
section for details).
3 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the Agility Zero U Transmitter to be upgraded.
4 Click the Firmware Upgrade link. Within the Firmware Upgrade page, click the Choose File button. In the subsequent file dialog,
locate the downloaded upgrade file - check that the file is correct for the Agility Zero U Transmitter being upgraded. The file
contains main and backup images, you can choose to upgrade either the Main or the Backup.
5 Click the Upgrade Now button. A progress bar will be displayed (however, if your screen is connected to the Agility Zero U
Transmitter being upgraded then video may be interrupted) and the status indicators on the Agility Zero U Transmitter will
flash while the upgrade is in progress.
6 The indicators should stop flashing in less than one minute, after which the Agility Zero U Transmitter will automatically reboot
itself. The upgrade process is complete.
FINDING THE LATEST UPGRADE FILES
Firmware files for the Agility Zero U Transmitter are available from Black Box Technical Support.
Note: It is possible to downgrade the Agility firmware. After installing the older firmware, perform a factory reset on each Agility
unit in order to clear the configuration file.
