Updating your 6300's Software

You can connect by selecting the desired con-
nection from the drop-down list in the C
menu.
You can also connect by double-clicking the
connection in the "Connection List" window.
If the connection is successful, a dialog bubble
will appear on the bottom right hand corner of
the screen verifying your connection.
If you have trouble making a connection, refer to Troubleshooting Windows XP
Modem Connect on page 5-13. If you have trouble the first time after creating a
connection according to the instructions above, try restarting your computer to
clear its serial port.
3. To change the properties of an existing connection:
Right-click the connection in the "connection List" window and choose "Proper-
ties." The "Connection properties" window opens (see page 2-76).
The software version number of PC Remote must be the same as the version number
of the software running within your 6300. If the software version of PC Remote is
higher than the version running in your 6300, PC Remote will automatically detect
this and will offer to update your 6300's software automatically.
1. If you have not already done so, prepare your computer and the 6300
for a direct serial, modem, or Ethernet connection.
See Networking and Remote Control starting on page 2-46.
2. Install the latest version of 6300 PC Remote software on your computer.
This is available from

See the readme6300_x.x.x.x.htm file (where x.x.x.x is the version number) for de-
tails about the upgrade not given in this manual. The PC Remote installer will in-
stall this file on your computer's hard drive.
3. If you have not previously done so, start 6300 PC Remote and set up a
"connection" to the 6300 you will be updating.
