Chapter 3: Updating S6 System and Workstation Software 15
9 If you are prompted to update module firmware after the system restarts, do the following:
• Navigate to the
Settings > Surface page and press Update.
• When prompted, confirm the update and then wait until all modules have updated (which can take several minutes). Do not
turn off any modules during this process. The screen displays a message confirming that the update has completed.
Installing S6 Supporting Software
Your Avid Master Account also provides workstation software for Windows and Mac, and S6 documentation. XMON EUCON
and Studio Monitor Pro2 software options are included in these installers.
Whenever you update S6 system software you must also update workstation software on all connected workstations.
After updating S6 system software, do the following:
1 If you have not already done so, on a separate computer navigate to account.avid.com and log in to your Avid Master Account
(or create one if you have not already done so). WSControl (workstation) software, documentation, and other resources are
available in the
My Products / Products I Own section under S6 Software Updates.
2 Transfer the installers to a USB flash drive.
To install WSControl (workstation) software:
1 Insert the USB drive containing the downloaded WSControl installer into an available USB port on your workstation.
2 Navigate to the USB drive, double-click the Workstation Software installer and follow the instructions on-screen. To install
XMON EUCON or Studio Monitor Pro2 (Windows only) make sure their options are checked.
If no Update option is displayed either the system hasn't completely booted yet, or a module is selected on that screen. Wait for
the system to finish starting up, and be sure no module is selected on-screen.
EUCON now installs into a default directory for all EUCON devices (including, Artist Series, S3, System 5 and S6) allowing
co-install of all software for these devices. In practice, this means you do not need to uninstall and re-install EUCON software
when switching between different EUCON control surfaces.
You can download these components directly to the workstation(s) you plan to use with S6, or to a USB flash drive as described
in the following steps.
Do not use the included System Restore USB drive! Use a separate USB flash drive.
