Updating UpCon firmware

UpCon English Manual (2014-10-07) 80

Locating the UpCon firmware

file – example 2

If you have moved the .tca file to a folder called
“UpCon_updates” on an external hard disk
called “DAW2”,the correct path to enter in “Com-
mon Software Update Folder” would be:

// Volumes / DAW2 /

UpCon

_updates /

For the remaining steps, see Example 1.

! Please note that a folder may contain mul-

tiple .tca files, which will be shown on the
Frame / System / Setup / Update page when
that folder is selected. Be sure to select the
correct file – usually, the most current one.

! If you experience technical problems during

software download or installation, please ask
a person with administrator privileges on this
Mac for assistance.
