Specific Information Regarding System Updates
When updating the unit’s software using a USB ThumbDrive, DigiMux uploads the
software from the connected ThumbDrive, updates the system files, and reboots.
After DigiMux shuts down completely, press 1+ESCAPE for 3 seconds to reboot the
unit.
During shut down, the color bar is displayed on the monitor. The function key LEDs
are lit, then turn off. The monitor and fan then shut down. Only the power light is on
when the unit is shut down.
NOTE: Use compatible short term USB storage devices. Incompatible USB devices
cause the boot operation to fail, or cause the unit to behave unpredictably.
See
www.AmericanDynamics.net/DigiMux for a list of compatible USB
storage devices.
Depending on system activity, it may take several minutes before the changes in
system setup are saved into memory. If a power interruption occurs during this time,
setup information will be lost. To make sure that all setup information is saved, a
proper shutdown and reboot should be performed immediately after exiting the
Setup menu. Press 4+ESCAPE to shutdown the DigiMux, and then press 1+ESCAPE
for 3 seconds to reboot. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a good protection
against power and data loss.
For specific information on updating DigiMux system software using the Upgrade
Software item on the Revision menu, see
DigiMux Software Updates on page 100.

Upgrade Software Updates the DigiMux software. You can connect an external
device that contains the new software to the DigiMux to
update the software. Select Yes to update the software. No is
the default.
