2.8.2 Update Manager
Update Manager in Composer Pro automatically updates Director and all of the IP-connected devices
that are available in your project (identified and online), allowing you to update all the devices in the
project configuration also. You can use Update Manager to update from all previous releases.
To support multiple releases, the release (for example, 1.7.x) installs in a Composer Pro directory (for
example, Composer17x), which differs from previous releases that were installed in the Composer
Pro directory. You do not need to uninstall previous releases to install a new release, but you must
install Composer 2.0 or later before you begin the update to the latest release.
The update to OS 2.0 does the following:
• Converts the Media Database for better Screen Saver resolution.
• Converts metadata to id3 tags. Note: If your customer is using iTunes or another media
manager, you may not want to convert the metadata tags. See the OS 2.0 or later Release
Notes and upgrade instructions for details.
• Recalibrates to Flash on the Navigators. You will need to refresh your Navigators. Note: If
you don't want to use Flash on some Navigators, you can choose not to update that device.
Also, not all Navigators support Flash. See the OS 2.0 or later Release Notes for details.
• Updates ZigBee firmware.
• For internationalization, locale changes are reflected in the update.
To access Update Manager:
1. Start Composer and connect to a Director.
2. From the Tools menu, click Update Manager.
2.8.3 Network Tools
Composer Pro Release 1.7.3 and later use this option.
To access Network Tools:
1. Start Composer and connect to a Director.
2. From the Tools menu, click Network Tools.
3. Network Tools has three (3) tabs (Release 1.8.0 and later). Use these tabs as required by the
software:
• IP Network
• ZigBee Network
• EmberNet Upgrade
2.8.4 System Manager
System Manager provides some of the functionality as in previous releases, but it does not perform
the update functionality. Use System Manager to add, refresh, connect, or disconnect devices.
