VG4 Series Firmware Version Identification

Each service pack contains a version of the files in the illustration below. The version number
of the Service Pack is sequential, but the versions of the firmware modules included in the
service pack varies. Although all files are included in a service pack, only a few of these files
are upgraded with each service pack release.
To display the current versions of the VG4 firmware files:

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Upgrade the IP Communications module first, if applicable, with the Vip_x_app1.fw file.
Upgrade the boot files:
– SCBootApp.g4i, for 200, 300, and 500i Series AutoDomes.
– VCA_boot.g4i, for 500i Series AutoDomes.
Upgrade the System Controller using the SCMain.G4i file.
Upgrade the 500i Series AutoDomes, if applicable, using the VCA_App.g4i file.
Issue the ON-66-ENTER command twice, in quick succession.
The AutoDome displays the current firmware levels for the AutoDome files. Compare
these version numbers to the latest versions identified in the Release Notes, included
with the Service Pack to determine if the VG4 requires an upgrade.
