Lindy SC5 User Manual page 31

The results of the unit query will be displayed in the Device/Dongle Selection
dialog:
The type and firmware revision of each discovered CAM will be displayed
alongside the port number to which it is connected.
7 - Select the items to be upgraded
Using the Device/Dongle Selection dialog you can determine which items
should receive a firmware upgrade:
• Use the Program / Verify Main Unit option to include or exclude the SC5
unit itself.
• Use the Select All CAMs option to upgrade every discovered CAM.
• Use the Select All USB / PS2 / Sun CAMs options to upgrade only CAMs
of a certain type.
• Use the individual port options to select particular CAM devices to
upgrade.
When the required options have been selected, click OK.
Note: Approximate upgrade times are: SC5 unit = 4½ minutes; each selected
CAM = 20 seconds.
8 - Select the upgrade file to be used
From the main KVM Firmware Uploader dialog, click the Browse... button
and select the upgrade file:
SC5_x.xx.txt
where x.xx is the firmware version.
The upgrade file details will be displayed within the dialog.
IMPORTANT: Check that the 'Intended Target Units' field matches the
'Unit Connected' field. If these fields do not match then you may have an
incorrect upgrade file, check with Lindy before proceeding. Check also that
the 'New firmware version' is greater than the 'Current firmware version'.
9 - Commence the upgrade
To begin the upgrade process, click the Upload Now button. The progress
will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide not to continue with
the upload at any stage, click the Abort button; response to this is usually
immediate, however, during an erase command, the upload will not be
aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).
10 - Cycle the power
Disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the SC5 will operate
using the new firmware.
Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the SC5 firmware code. If the upgrade process is
interrupted then the SC5 will have invalid code and will not be able to operate.
It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always fully
completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another
upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should press
and release the front panel reset button without re-powering the unit. Running
faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may
damage your SC5 or computing equipment.
WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable
results and may damage your SC5 or computing equipment.
Check that the
'Intended Target
Units' field
matches the 'Unit
Connected' field.
Check also that
the 'New firmware
version' is greater
than the 'Current
firmware version'.
