3. Automatically installing the firmware

After automatically or manually uploading the firmware to the SD card, the firmware can be installed automatically.
There are two options for a timed installation of the new firmware.
•
Install the firmware immediately after upload. This option is only available if the upload of the firmware to the SD card is also
done automatically. Once the upload is finished, the installation of the firmware is started by the receiver.
•
Install the firmware at a specified time. This option is available independent of the firmware upload option. When activated,
the receiver will check every 24 hours if a new firmware is available on the SD card. If a file is detected on the SD card, the
installation is started at a specified time. The user can set the day of the week and the time on that day at which the firmware
is to be installed. E.g. choosing Saturday and 23:00 will install the firmware at 23:00 the next Saturday after the firmware was
found on the SD card. The option "same day" will install the firmware at the specified time of the day the new firmware was
found on the SD card, independent of which day of the week it is.
When using the automatic firmware installation, make sure that the receiver is connected to a reliable power
supply.
If the firmware installation fails, e.g. due to an expired maintenance date, an event log message is given.
Please check the event log if the firmware was not upgraded as expected.
For every firmware upgrade, the language will be deleted and the language is reverted to English. After an
automatic firmware upgrade, the language file needs to be loaded and installed manually.
Step Description
1 Go to the Receiver Setup / Tools / Firmware page.
