Updates - tams elektronik mc2 EasyControl Digital System Silver Edition Manual

7. Updates

The mc² central unit is a mature product corresponding to the current state of the art and has
been intensively tested. However, the large number of connection options for various digital
devices and the resulting huge number of possible combinations, as well as the variety of
system concepts and possibilities for system implementation, make it impossible to test all
conceivable constellations in advance. Despite all tests, we therefore cannot exclude the
possibility of problems occurring during operation with your system and your digital devices.
We make every effort to correct problems caused by errors in the firmware and/or the web
interface of your mc² as quickly as possible.
Future developments in the field of digital control of model railways - both in terms of
standardisation and digital devices - will require further developments of the firmware and/or
the web interface of your mc². In addition, there will be additional functions that we develop
for the mc² central unit.
Free updates for the mc²
You benefit from the further development of the mc² by installing updates for the firmware
and/or the mc²-Toolbox. Updates are free of charge for you. The latest version of the
firmware and the web interface are displayed in the menu item "Update" of the mc²-Toolbox.
You can check the current version of your mc² in the menu item "System Info".
How to update your mc² is described in the direct help in the menu item "Update".
Updates for other EasyControl devices
Under the menu item "Update" of the mc²-Toolbox, you can also carry out updates for further
digital devices for the EasyControl digital system. The prerequisite is that the device is
connected to your mc² via the EasyNet interface. How to carry out updates for these devices
is described in the direct help in the menu item "Update".
Recovery software
For mostly incomprehensible reasons, an update may fail. If your mc² then no longer responds
to renewed attempts to start an update, proceed as follows:

Download the recovery software (mc2recovery.exe) from the download area of our
homepage (www.tams-online.de) to your PC.

Install the software mc2recovery.exe on your PC and start it.

Enter the data path under which you have saved the current firmware for the mc².

Switch off the supply voltage of the mc².

Keep the "STOP" and "GO" keys pressed while switching the supply voltage back on. A dot
flashes alternately in the two segments of the display.

Keep the "STOP" and "GO" buttons pressed until the update starts. Release the buttons as
soon as the display shows the progress of the update (in %).
