Upgrading SC5-4xIP models

The SC5-4xIP models are upgraded via global connection (through the IP
network port). Upgrades are digitally signed using a secure key. This prevents
unauthorised or altered firmware images being downloaded into the SC5-4xIP.
To upgrade SC-xIP models
1 Download the latest firmware revision (contact LINDY technical support
for details) for the SC5-4xIP and decompress the download file. View the
decompressed files and make a note of the name and location of the .bin
file that was part of the download file collection.
2 Make a
global connection
user.
3 Once logged in, click the 'Configure' button in the top right corner of the
window.
4 Click the 'Unit Configuration' button.
5 Click the 'Advanced Unit
Configuration' button.
6 Click the 'Upgrade Firmware'
button. This dialog will be displayed:
7 Click OK. The SC5-4xIP is now ready to accept the upgrade files. Open
your browser and connect to the SC5-4xIP using the IP address that was
confirmed in the dialog. Once connected, the SC5-4xIP will offer the
following screen:
to the SC5-4xIP unit and login as the admin
8 Click the 'Browse' button and locate the .bin upgrade file that you
downloaded earlier. Click the 'Upload file' button. The SC5-4xIP will next
show the following screen:
9 Select which portion of the unit that you wish to upgrade:
• Tick the 'Main' option to upgrade the SC5-4xIP unit itself.
• Tick one or more of the CAM options to include them in the upgrade
process.
10 When ready, click the 'Perform upgrade' button. The upgrade will take
place and its progress will be shown on screen.
11 When the upgrade is complete, click the link 'Click here to reboot the unit
into normal operation'.

Recovering from a failed upgrade

If a problem is encountered while upgrading the SC5-4xIP, it is still possible to
restart the unit and attempt a new upgrade process.
To invoke backup/recovery mode
1 Remove power, press and hold the reset button (insert a thin implement
such as a straightened paper clip into the small hole next to the IP
connector) and then re-apply power. Then, release the reset button
2 Access the SC5-4xIP using a web browser on an IP connected system. When
the upgrade page is displayed, follow the normal instructions, except after
step 10, remove and replace the power on the unit.
