from the Internet at our Web site www.vcs.com.
Warning!
Before starting the firmware upload, be certain that you have selected the
correct upload file! Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer
being addressable, requiring it to be replaced. Never interrupt the
installation of the firmware. Interruption will damage the Flash EPROM.
This can also render the unit inoperable and make replacement necessary.
– First, save the update file to the hard disk.
– Enter the full path for the update file in the field or click Durchsuchen... to
locate and select the file.
– Click Upload to begin transmission to the unit. Transmission progress can be
monitored from the status messages and the progress bar.
After the upload is completed successfully, the unit will restart automatically.
If the operating status LED flashes red and green alternately, the upload has
failed and must be done again. This requires that you work from a special page:
– Enter the IP address of the unit in the browser and append /main.htm (for
example 192.168.0.12/main.htm).
– Repeat the upload.
