Network Configuration
The Network Configuration menu contains the IP address and subnet
mask that the Encoder will use when connected to a local network.
IP Address
selects the network address that the unit will request on
your LAN. Use the
LEFT

Subnet Mask
should be set to match the bit mask used on your
LAN.
Gateway

the unit will use to communicate outside of your local network,
when applicable.
Firmware Update
The Firmware Update utility provides a fast, simple, and convenient
way to upgrade your Encoder to the latest version of the EEG firmware
or add additional software modules. Begin by downloading a firmware
update file from the EEG website and transferring the file to any
standard USB memory device. Insert the memory stick into the front
panel USB port, navigate to the Update option in the System Setup
menu, and press
ENTER
. The update utility will find the installation
file on the memory device, display the revision number, and prompt you
to continue. Press
ENTER
to proceed and install the new firmware, or
CANCEL
to end the utility. A message will appear on the LCD screen
when the update utility has finished.
Do NOT remove the memory
device while the update utility is running.
When the update utility is
finished, the new firmware has been installed. Some updates will
require a power-cycle before they take effect; in this case, the Encoder
will power down automatically once the update is complete.
In HD491 versions 2.3.8 and up, updates can also be applied over your
LAN on the HD491 Web Configuration page.
