Update & Reset, maintenance, problem analysis and technical support
5.1
Update of the device via the update tool
A firmware update of the system can be made through the web interface of the device or with the
DResearch update tool. With the update tool offered by DResearch a MR system can be provided
easy and convenient with the latest firmware.
Make a network connection between a PC and the system through the Ethernet interface. Start the
update tool and follow the instructions in the manual of the update tool.
5.2
Update and Reset of the device via the web interface
The device can be returned to its factory settings with a “Reset”. This can be required if the unit
is no longer reachable because inappropriate parameters have been set. Please note that the
WebUI is protected, if you have set a configuration password.
Connect the unit to your PC via the LAN interface (using a patch cable).
Switch the service-PC and the MR3140 unit on.
Copy the update file which you have received from your system integrator/manufacturer into a
folder on the service laptop.
Start a web browser on the service laptop (IE, Firefox, etc.)
In the browser’s address line enter "http://<IP address of the recorder>"
(e.g. "http:// 192.168.0.1") – the recorder interface will opened.
Click on the Firmware-Update or Reset button and follow the instructions on the screen.
If the factory settings are restored the device parameters are returned to their factory settings.
Apart from the network settings, (IP address, gateway and subnet mask) all previously set
parameter values are overwritten.
The IP address won’t be returned to their factory settings, because the device wouldn’t be
available after the update.
A Reset should only be carried out in an absolute emergency (e.g. if the unit can’t handle
correctly with the configuration settings and all physical connection faults have been ruled out).
