Upgrading ViewStation Software over the LAN

© Polycom, Inc.
You can use the Polycom SoftUpdate application to update your software
over the LAN. SoftUpdate upgrades your software only if your software is
more recent than Version 1.4. To upgrade your software:
1. Make sure your PC is connected to the ViewStation. See the
Connecting a PC section of this document for more information.
2. From your web browser, go to www.polycom.com. At the software
download page, choose the appropriate software version for your
system. The SoftUpdate.exe file is downloaded to your computer. The
file contains the SoftUpdate application and a ReadMe file. If you do
not have Internet access, your reseller can supply you with the
application.
3. Use the WinZip application on your PC to extract the condensed files
inside SoftUpdate.exe. You are asked where you want to put the files.
Make sure you select all of the files when extracting.
4. If you are prompted for a password, contact your network
administrator.
5. When the application is extracted, double-click on the SoftUpdate.exe
icon.
6. Click on the SoftUpdate button.
7. A dialog box prompts you for the IP address of the ViewStation. If you
have an administration password, enter it here. If you do not have a
password, just click on the OK button.
8. When the System Info window is displayed, click Continue.
9. As the software is being upgraded, you are informed about its progress.
When the upgrade is finished, click the OK button and you are done.
10. Print the ReadMe First file, which contains information that might not
be included in this document.
