APPENDIX A: Software Upgrades

Introduction

This chapter describes how to download a software update file to your computer,
transfer it to a USB flash drive and install the updated into an iAM-SUM.

Download the Software

The iAM-SUM software update can be found at http://www.wohler.com, under
Product Downloads on the Products > iAM-SUM page, in Support > Downloads >
Drivers & Software, or contact Wohler Customer Support for more information.
Unzip the downloaded update files to reveal two files. One will have a suffix of .wx
and the other will have a suffix of .md5sum. Both files are needed for the upgrade.

Update Methods

There are several software update methods. Select one of them, depending upon
your needs:
1. Local update from the front panel of the iAM-SUM: This straightforward
method does not require the use of the Web GUI. A flash drive containing the
update is plugged into the front panel USB socket and the update is then
accomplished using the self-contained menu system. If this method seems
most suitable, then refer to the
this chapter.
2. Remote update using the Web GUI with a flash drive connected to the iAM-
SUM: It may be more convenient to update the product using a flash drive
plugged into its front panel USB socket, but controlled remotely via the Web
GUI. To update the product this way, refer to the
section of this chapter.
3. Remote update without a flash drive: This method allows you to update a
networked iAM-SUM remotely without plugging a flash drive into its front
panel USB socket. To update the product this way, refer to the
iAM-SUM
4. Update multiple units remotely at once: This method allows you to update
multiple networked iAM-SUM units at once, without plugging flash drives into
their front panel USB sockets. To update products this way, refer to the
Updating Multiple iAM-SUM Units Remotely
iAM-SUM
