VideoJet 8000 109
Software update
Software update:
The VideoJet 8000 is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters
can be updated with firmware. To accomplish this, the current firmware is loaded
on the unit via the selected network. It will be installed automatically after the
connection is closed.
Thus a VideoJet 8000 unit can be serviced and updated remotely without
requiring a technician to make changes on-site.
The current firmware can be obtained from VCS Customer Service or
downloaded from the Internet at our Web site (www.vcs.com).
Warning!
Before starting the firmware upload, be sure that you have selected the
correct file! Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer being
addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
Do not interrupt the firmware installation for any reason! Interruption will
damage the flash EPROMs. This can also result in the unit no longer being
addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
– First, save the update file to the hard disk.
– Enter the full path for the update file in the field or click Search to locate and
select the file.
– Click Upload to begin transmission to the unit. The progress of the download
can observed from the status messages and progress bar.
After about 90 seconds, the message Firmware upload complete. Status:
upload finished - please wait! will appear. The new firmware will be
decompressed and used to reprogram the flash EPROM. The time necessary is
indicated by the message Reconnection in ... seconds.
