Performing upgrades

The MC5 and MC5-IP units are fully reconfigurable via flash upgrades, as are the
individual Computer Access Modules that are used to link all host computers.
The MC5-IP models operate in a slightly different manner to the non-IP models
and so are upgraded differently:

• MC5 models and Computer Access Modules require a Windows-based

computer system to be linked via the

COM1/UPGRADE

port.

•

MC5-IP models

are upgraded via IP link and require a network-connected

Windows-based computer system.

Upgrading MC5 models and CAMs

The KVM Firmware Uploader utility is available from the LINDY support. It allows
you to check the current revision of the MC5 unit firmware as well as every
Computer Access Module connected to it.

Items required to use the upgrade utility

• Optional serial upgrade cable available from LINDY (see

Appendix 7

for pin-

out specifications).

• A Windows-based upgrade computer with an RS232 serial port.
• The latest version of the KVM Firmware Uploader and firmware files for the

MC5 - contact LINDY support for details.

To use the KVM Firmware Uploader utility

1 - Obtain and run the KVM Firmware Uploader.

Obtain the latest MC5 KVM Firmware Uploader from LINDY support and

install it on a Windows-based upgrade computer that will be connected to
the MC5 unt. The files are supplied as a compressed ZIP file. Decompress the
ZIP file with an appropriate tool such as WinZip (www.winzip.com) and copy
all contained files to the same folder on the upgrade computer.

2 - Power off the MC5 and select flash upgrade mode

Remove the power supply plug(s) from the rear panel of the MC5 and move

option switch 1 on the back of the MC5 to the ON position (down).

3 - Connect the upgrade computer to the MC5

Connect the upgrade computer to the

COM1/UPGRADE

port on the rear panel

of the MC5 unit using the optional upgrade cable. You do not need to set
the serial baud rate and protocol because the upgrade program will do this
automatically.

4 - Power on the MC5

Attach the power adapter to the MC5. The

USER

display should now show

which indicates that the MC5 is ready to be upgraded.

5 - Run the KVM Firmware Uploader utility

From that folder, select the KVMUploader icon to run the upgrade utility.

The KVM Firmware Uploader dialog will be displayed:

6 - Query the MC5 unit

Click the

Query Unit

button to confirm that communication is possible

with the MC5 and to establish the firmware details of the main unit and all
connected CAMs.

Note: The computer to which each CAM is connected must be powered
before the respective CAM can be accessed.

Note: MC5 units in lower levels of cascade links (and their respective

CAMs) cannot be queried or upgraded while remaining in the cascade
arrangement.

If the application cannot contact the MC5, recheck the connection cable
and click the

Advanced...

button to check that the correct serial port is being

used. Change the serial port within the

Advanced

section, if necessary.
