Matrox Iris Os Downloader Utility - Matrox Iris GT MIL Installation And Technical Reference

Matrox Iris OS Downloader utility

The Matrox Iris OS Downloader utility boots your Matrox Iris GT using a
specified operating system file located on another computer on your network.
❖ Note that you should only use this utility if directed to do so by technical support.
The process is similar to booting your computer from a floppy disk. This utility
does not replace the Matrox Iris GT's operating system. Instead, it allows an
otherwise non-booting smart camera to boot.
To boot your Matrox Iris GT, you can use the backup copy of the operating system
for your Matrox Iris GT in the \Rescue folder of the Matrox Iris GT Utilities DVD.
To use the Matrox Iris OS Downloader utility, perform the following:
1. On your computer, open Microsoft Windows Explorer and go to the following
location: \Program files\Matrox Imaging\Iris Series\Matrox Iris GT
Utilities\applications. Click on the Matrox OS Downloader icon. The Matrox Iris
OS Downloader utility opens.
2. Click on the Browse button and navigate to the location of the NK.bin file; this
file contains the operating system for your Matrox Iris GT. A copy of this file is
available in the \Rescue folder of your Matrox Iris GT Utilities DVD.
3. Click on the NK.bin file, and click on the OK button.
4. Wait for the name of your Matrox Iris GT to appear in the name list. Select the
target smart camera and click on the Download button. The download process
begins.
5. Once your Matrox Iris GT boots, you can either update or restore your operating
system using the provided utilities. To update your operating system, use the
IrisClientUpdate utility. To restore it, use the FullRescue utility.
