Checking The Protocol Firmware Version - Comtrol DeviceMaster EIP Series Hardware Installation And Configuration Manual

Preparing the DeviceMaster for Configuration

Checking the Protocol Firmware Version

Use PortVision DX to check the firmware version before configuring the ports.
Depending on the model you purchased, the DeviceMaster may or may not have the protocol firmware loaded.
Note: Models that have a protocol loaded on the DeviceMaster are identified in PortVision DX and the
DeviceMaster is labeled accordingly.
The following procedure shows how to use PortVision DX to check the firmware version on the DeviceMaster
and check for the latest files.
Note: If you have not done so, install PortVision DX
1. Start PortVision DX by double-clicking the PortVision DX desktop icon or click Comtrol > PortVision DX.
2. Examine the List View pane to see if or/and what version of the firmware is loaded on the DeviceMaster. If
you see SocketServer or NS-Link as the Software Version, you must load the appropriate firmware for
your protocol.
3. Check the Comtrol FTP site to see if there is a later version available:

4. If applicable, download the latest version and go to
DeviceMaster on Page 29.
