Equitrac Professional TouchPoint Console Installation and Setup Guide
Upgrade TouchPoint Console Firmware
Your TouchPoint Console ships with up-to-date platform firmware and application data versions. Before allowing
users to access TPC, use the compatibility information below to determine if the TPC application and/or firmware
must be upgraded or downgraded to work with the installed version of Equitrac Professional.
The Terminal Updater utility is installed on the Core Accounting Server in the Equitrac > Professional > Tools folder.
NOTE:
If you have already used the TPC Installation Wizard to setup TPC on the network, this tool will maintain your
settings.
Before you start
• Determine the type of Fax Board used in the TPC. Determining the version of fax board installed on the unit (if
any) determines how the fax board must be configured. For detailed information about fax configuration, see
• Obtain the most recent platform and application firmware version from the Equitrac Partner portal and save the
file on the Core Accounting Server. Platform firmware is a .bin format file and application firmware is a .zip format
file.
• TPC must be connected to the network and it is helpful to know its IP Address. If you are updating more than one
TPC, record the IP Addresses of all Consoles you want to update.
• You must have Administrative access on the Core Accounting Server to run this tool.
Firmware considerations
When installing a new, upgraded, or repaired TPC, the terminal software may be incompatible with older installations
of Equitrac Professional. In these cases, the firmware must be downgraded. Downgrading the firmware follows the
same process outlined in
on page 27, but rather than new firmware, older firmware is used.
There are specific firmware versions and applications that work with specific versions of Equitrac Professional.
