The program name
Harris.Exporter.HDEConfig
will be listed. In order for multicast messages to
get through the firewall, the program name must
be checked, as shown in the illustration. Once
checked, click
OK to save the changes and close
Windows Firewall. The HDE-200 should not ap-
pear in the ECC app Device list.
5.4 Embedded Software &
Firmware Updates
The proprietary iBiquity HD Radio codec em-
bedded software, the TINI card’s Linux operat-
ing system and the Interface Controller card’s
FPGA firmware may be updated over the life of
the HDE-200. When updated code is available, it
can be downloaded from the Harris Broadcast
Customer Portal website:
http://www.broadcast.harris.com.
servicesandsupport/
To access this site, you must be a registered
user. The Radio and TV/Software Downloads sec-
tion of the Harris support site is where the HDE-
200 code can be found.
To determine whether newer code is available,
the current code running on each HDE-200 in
your network can be shown using the ECC app.
Select the
Device menu item, then choose Select
Device. Each HDE-200 Exporter connected to the
network will be listed. The
Version
column shows
the code version running on each HDE-200.
HDE-200 code is distributed in a compressed
(.zip) folder. The code and version is listed in the
folder name (e.g., HDE-200_code_1.90.5.zip).
The code is downloaded from the Harris site to a
computer running the ECC app.
You must be logged into this computer as a
Commissioner in order to access the
System menu
items in the ECC app. A USB Flash Drive (32MB
or larger) is required to transfer new code to the
HDE-200.
NOTE:
Changing the HDE-200 code
will
interrupt
your HD Radio signal.
To prevent interruption of your ana-
log broadcast signal, ramp out of Di-
versity Delay before changing code.
Once the code update is complete,
ramp the Diversity Delay back in to
return to normal operation.
The analog audio continues through the HDE-
200 during the code upgrade, however, there may
be momentary dropouts as the HDE-200 restarts
using the new code. During the code updating
procedure—which requires a Processor Reset and
will take roughly three minutes, the HD Radio
digital signal will be off-air. This forces HD Ra-
dio receivers to switch back to the analog signal.
5.4.1 HDE-200 CODE UPDATING
1.
Insert a writable flash drive (32 MB or
larger) into the USB port on the back of the
HDE-200.
Wait for one minute
, or until the
drive activity LED stops blinking, to allow
the HDE-200 to detect the drive and to up-
load its current configuration settings to the
drive in a folder labeled with that HDE-
200’s MAC address. The flash drive can then
be unplugged.
