Transferring Software From Luminaire to Luminaire

It is possible to transfer specific software versions between luminaires. As in the case
of installing new software versions, multiple luminaires can be programmed at the
same time if they are data linked together (refer to
page 20), however a maximum of 32 luminaires can be updated at once.
The transfer process can be used to download an earlier or later version of the VL2000
Luminaire Software to other connected luminaires of the same type.

Hardware Requirements

Data cables used in this process must have two twisted pairs and a shield. It is also
recommended that cables meet all other USITT DMX specification requirements.
Refer to
A loopback connector is required at the first luminaire and a male termination
connector is required at the last luminaire. Refer to
regarding the construction of these connectors.
