Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX

Use this section to upload a newer version of SocketServer on the DeviceMaster

using PortVision DX. Technical Support recommends updating SocketServer

before any further configuration to avoid configuration problems.

You can use this procedure if your DeviceMaster is connected to the host PC,

laptop, or if the DeviceMaster resides on the local network segment.

1. Make sure that you have downloaded the latest SocketServer version from:

ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/software/socketserver

2. If necessary, open PortVision DX > Start/Programs > Comtrol > PortVision DX >

PortVision DX or use the desktop shortcut.

3. Right-click the DeviceMaster or DeviceMasters for which you want to update,

click Advanced > Upload Firmware, browse to the SocketServer .cmtl file, and

then click Open.

If the Detection Type is set to REMOTE, you may want to change it to LOCAL.

The DeviceMaster Status on a DeviceMaster that is set to REMOTE displays

in blue: ON-LINE (TCP).

Optionally, you can highlight the DeviceMaster and

click the Upload button in the Launch bar.
