Upgrading the AmiNET130 Set Top Box
The Amino is upgraded by instructing the device(s) to listen to the Upgrade Server which will
be broadcasting the upgrade image at a multicast address.
T
To upgrade all Amino STBs on the network:
1. Put the DVD in a computer that's on the same network as the Aminos to be upgraded.
2. Install VMWare Player from the VBrick DVD.
3. Copy the entire folder and its contents
AminoUpgradeServer
from the DVD to the local
computer's hard drive. This will require roughly 4GB of space.
4. Open the VMWare Player and boot up the AminoUpgradeServer by opening the
Ubuntu.vmx
file found in the AminoUpgradeServer that was previously copied to the
hard drive.
5. IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the Date/Time on the Amino matches the Date/
Time on the AminoUpgradeServer. If the times are not accurate, the Amino is designed
to ignore all commands sent to it remotely. The AminoUpgradeServer is automatically
synced with an internet time server with the time zone set to
America/New York
. The
Amino has a field in the Administrator’s Network Configuration page for a “Time
Server”. If this is set, then all Amino times should be automatically synced with the local
network’s time. If that is the case, it is likely only necessary to adjust the time zone on the
AminoUpgradeServer. Do this by clicking on
Applications > System > Time and Date
. In
the dialog, click
Unlock
and enter the password
vbrick
and click
Authenticate
. To change
Note The upgrade software is provided on a separate DVD and is not included in the
AmiNET130 Product CD. Contact VBrick Support Services for more information
about upgrading your set top box. Also be aware that the upgrade is valid only for set
top boxes purchased from VBrick. If you did not purchase your set top box from
VBrick, do not attempt an upgrade.
Notes • It is a copyright violation to use proprietary VBrick software on set top boxes not
purchased from VBrick.
• Before upgrading any set top boxes, be sure to remove all non-VBrick purchased
set top boxes from the network.
• Multicast must be enabled on the network.
• The VMWare Player and the AmiNET130 Set Top Box(es) must be on the same
subnet.
