7. Upgrading the Software
NOTE: You need to install an FTP server program on your computer in
order to carry out the following upgrade procedure. You can use an FTP
program of your choice if you are familiar with such programs. In case you do
not have an access to one, Solectek has included FileZilla, an FTP server
program, on the installation CD. For details on the configuration of this
application, please refer to the document called FTP-Guide.pdf included on the
CD.
• Click on the Upgrade menu option under the Advanced parent menu
to see the following screen:
There may be newer software releases from Solectek from time to time. If you
would like to upgrade your unit, first obtain the new file from Solectek. The
current version will be posted on Solectek’s website.
Check to see if the current version available from Solectek is a newer version
than the one current installed on your SKYWAY 5000.
Save the new software file in a directory of your computer you can easily access.
For convenience, you may prefer to use the same computer that you use to
access the SKYWAY 5000 user interface, since the computer already has been
configured to be on the same network as the SKYWAY 5000.
• Software Version Check
- Server IP Address: The address of the computer that stores the
upgrade software file.
- User Name: User name used to login onto the upgrade FTP
server. For convenience, you may want to use anonymous login.
- User Password: Password used to login onto the upgrade FTP
server.
- Image File Name: The name of the binary file to be loaded onto
your SKYWAY 5000 unit.
- Image File Directory: Directory path to find the software
upgrade file on the FTP server,
NOTE: This path name is relative to the root path of the FTP
server.
Once you checked that the version is displayed correctly, click on the Upgrade
button. The upgrade should take less than a minute, and the unit will
automatically reboot once the upgrade is complete.
You will see the following reboot message once the unit starts a reboot process.
WARNING: Do not power down or unplug the unit during the upgrade
process.
