Performing An Upgrade - ADDER AdderLink Infinity ALIF2000 User Manual

Performing an upgrade

ALIF units are flash upgradeable using the method outlined here. However, for
larger installations we recommend that you use the AdderLink Infinity Manager
(AIM) to upgrade multiple ALIF units. When using the method below, the ALIF
unit will be upgraded in sequence.
Warning: During the upgrade process, ensure that power is not
interrupted as this may leave the unit in an inoperable state.
To upgrade a single unit via network link
1 Download the latest upgrade file from the Adder Technology website.
Note: There are separate upgrade files for TX and RX units.
2 Temporarily connect the ALIF unit and a computer via a network (see
AdderLink Infinity browser-based configuration utility
details).
3 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the ALIF
unit to be upgraded.
4 Click the Firmware Upgrade link. Within the Firmware Upgrade page, click
the Choose File button. In the subsequent file dialog, locate the downloaded
upgrade file - check that the file is correct for the unit being upgraded.
5 Click the Upgrade Now button. A progress bar will be displayed (however,
if your screen is connected to the unit being upgraded then video may
be interrupted) and the indicators on the front panel will flash while the
upgrade is in progress.
6 The indicators should stop flashing in less than one minute, after which the
unit will automatically reboot itself. The upgrade process is complete.
Finding the latest upgrade files
Firmware files for the ALIF units are available from the Technical Support
> Updates section of the Adder Technology website (www.adder.com).
