Setting up a Local Software Upgrade Server for the HD2000 or HD3000

 
Emblaze-VCON Product: HD3000
Non-Emblaze-VCON Product:  
 
Problem Description:
The HD2000 and HD3000 have an automatic software upgrade option. Rather than have these systems check a Emblaze-VCON site for version updates, I would like to first certify the new version. How do I setup a local upgrade server and configure the HD system to check for a new version only on that server?
 

Resolution:

Perform the following procedure to setup a local Upgrade Server (written as a HD3000 example):

  1. You will need a PC running Microsoft FTP server
  2. Configure the FTP account to be used for the upgrade (assuming you selected User: HD3000User, Password: HD3000Password) for read-only rights.
  3. When Emblaze-VCON announces a new software release for the HD3000, download the new version files from Emblaze-VCON. You should download ALL the files into your local FTP server account.
  4. Configure the HD3000 to refer to your local FTP server by one of the following methods:
    1. (4A.) User Interface: navigate into the Menu-->Version-->Upgrade dialog and change the FTP server URL, username and password fields according to your local FTP server settings.
    2. (4B.) Use the MXM administrator console to set the upgrade information for all your HD3000 systems at the same time: select all the HD3000 systems, open the MXM Version-->Upgrade dialog and change the FTP server parameters to those selected for your local FTP server.
