4.3 Performing a flash upgrade

The firmware in Wizard DXS - Digital is fully upgradable and there are two methods that you can use:
• The remote method, or
• The 'dip switch' method.
The most streamlined upgrade procedure is the remote method because it is carried out completely from a remote system. The
'dip switch' method is useful because it can be carried out even if the firmware within the Wizard DXS - Digital unit has been
corrupted.
4.3.1 Flash upgrade using the remote method
Using this method, the Wizard DXS - Digital is upgraded via remote connection (through the IP network port). Upgrades are
digitally signed using a secure key. This prevents unauthorized or altered firmware images being downloaded into the unit.
4.3.1.1 To perform a flash upgrade
1 Download the latest firmware revision for the Wizard DXS - Digital from Black Box 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 remote connection to the Wizard DXS - Digital unit and login as the admin user.
3 Once logged in, click the 'Configure' button in the top right corner of the window.
