How to Update the Software for SCOPIA XT Series

This section describes how to upgrade the software running on the XT Codec Unit.
Note
Any software version, even if it is restricted by a license, can run in a temporary mode for
practically 24 hours. After that period of time, you must enter a new license key or download
the previous allowed version.
The software version 3.0 does not need a license.
Download a new software package from the RADVISION web or FTP site. The software release
contains new features or patch release.
The software update package is an auto-extracting file containing a software version, usually
with a filename indicating the exact version number (for example: XT5000_V3_0_115.exe).
For further information, see http://licensing.radvision.com/.
You can update the software version either running the update package from a PC or from the
USB key that is shipped together with the product. When considering the update method,
remember that by downloading the update package from the RADVISION web or FTP site you
get the latest available version.
You can update the software running on a XT Codec Unit in two different modes, by means of
the same software package.
Upgrading to a major version requires a new license key. The first and second digits in the
version number indicate the major version number. For example, in version 3.1.005, the
major version number is "3.1".
Note
You may always downgrade the system to a previous version. Call customer support for help.
