8.4.6.1 Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard allows the user to upgrade the MG 3200's software by
loading a new *.cmp file together with the ini and a full suite of auxiliary files.
Loading a *.cmp file is mandatory in the Software Upgrade Wizard process. During the
process, users can choose to load the ini and the auxiliary files but this option cannot be
pursued without loading the cmp file. For the ini and each auxiliary file type, you can
choose between reloading an existing file, loading a new file or not loading a file at all.
8.4.6.1.1 Pre-Checks
Users or Upgrade engineer(s) performing upgrade for their customers should perform the
following tasks in advance prior to Upgrade:
•
Back up the current device configuration. Refer to 8.5 Restoring and Backing Up
the Device Configuration, for procedure of backing up the ini file.
•
Back up the existing Software Upgrade Key. Note that the Software Upgrade
Key does not get erased or replaced through the Upgrade process, however for
extra assurance, it is recommended this step is taken to ensure the data is saved.
Refer to 8.4.6.3 Software Upgrade Key and follow the procedure described in
''Backing up the current Software Upgrade Key''.
•
Save a screenshot of the Device Information screen. Again, the data on the
Device Information screen should not be affected by the Upgrade process,
however for extra assurance, it is recommended this step is taken. Refer to
8.4.5.3 Device Information for instructions on how to display the Device
Information screen.
•
Determine (or find out from your customers as applicable) whether the existing ini
file is to be used or loading of a newer customized ini file provided by customer is
required.
(Note: The ini file from the CD is the default ini file which remains unchanged
since SN07 release. This default ini file should only be used for new install. For
upgrade, the existing ini file which is currently being used in the system is to be
re-used. The Software Upgrade Wizard will guide you through how to load the ini
file).
•
Likewise, determine (or find out from your customers as applicable) which
auxiliary files are required, whether the existing ones are to be used, or loading of
newer customized files provided by customer are required.
(Note: If customer has no specific request to use new files then assume to use
the existing files which are the ones that are currently being used in the system.
The Software Upgrade Wizard will guide you through how to load the auxiliary
files).
•
The Software Upgrade Wizard allows user to load the .cmp file from CD or
located on user's PC where the MG3200 Web GUI is launched. If the latter
method is used, the .cmp file should be placed (e.g. via ftp or any other
applicable method) onto a folder on user's PC.
•
Should any new ini and/or auxiliary files be required, they should also be placed
on user's PC in the same manner described above for .cmp file. (Note: This is
not applicable if existing ini and auxiliary files are to be re-used).
