Electra 9200 Release 01, Rev A

Installing Platform Firmware

Installing Platform Firmware

To install new firmware on the encoder, first upload the new firmware to the device. Then, you 
reboot the encoder to begin using the new firmware. You can upload firmware any time, and 
reboot when it is convenient.

The encoder holds up to two firmware versions—the current version (the version that the encoder 
is using), and a second version held in memory. You can load either of these versions at any time, 
from the SAG Platform page (this requires rebooting the encoder).

When you upload a new firmware version to the encoder, two things happen: 

■

The current version (that the encoder is using) moves into memory, replacing the version 
there (which is discarded).  

■

The new firmware you upload is queued to replace the version that the encoder is using, so it 
becomes the current version when you re-boot. 

You do not need to manually delete old firmware from the encoder.

NOTE:  

Upgrading firmware deletes any device configuration presets you are storing on the device. To 

preserve a particular configuration, you must back up to a file and save it to another location. See the SAG 
Platform > Backup/Restore page for backup procedures.

Installing new firmware: 

1.

If you are installing over a previous version, it’s a good idea to save your current configuration 
(the services you have configured) to a file. Go to SAG Platform > Backup/Restore and select 
Backup Device Configuration to a File.

2.

Copy the new platform firmware file to the device running SAG. The firmware file is named 
with the version number and has a .tgz file extension and checksum. For example, a sample 
file name could be: 

i_09.18.00.74tgz,712ca616

.

3.

Load the new version to the device. Go to SAG Platform > Firmware Upgrade > Install New 
Firmware. Browse to the location of the new firmware file, and select the file.

4.

Select Install to copy the firmware files to the encoder and activate them later. Select Install 
And Activate to copy the files to the encoder and reboot to activate the new firmware version. 
A warning message will appear advising you to wait until the process is complete. Follow the 
prompts and do not close the browser window until the uploading process completes.

5.

When the firmware transfer finishes, a message confirms a successful upload. If you have 
chosen to install and activate, the device will reboot. This can take several minutes. 

6.

When you activate new firmware, you must refresh the browser window after the device 
reboots, to clear the cache and see the new version.

NOTE:  

When upgrading from platform firmware with a previous version of SAG: if you still see the old 

version of SAG when you reboot, you may need to retype the device IP address to redirect the browser page 
to load the new GUI.

Service Configuration Settings: 

When you install new firmware, the encoder restarts using the previous service configuration 
settings, if any. If there are new features in the firmware, default values are set for these fields. If 
you downgrade firmware versions, settings in the newer version that are not available in the older 
version are lost. Harmonic recommends saving your current configuration before changing the 
firmware version, so you have these settings available if you return to the current firmware 
version.
