Update HCS6320 and/or Transcoder Firmware via TFTP
If you are not sure of the current firmware version, view and record the System Information

for the HCS6320 and/or the transcoder card(s) before you initiate the firmware update. See

“View HCS6320 System Information” on page 17 and/or “View Hardware Information for a

Selected Transcoder” on page 24, as necessary.
The firmware update requires that you set up a TFTP server on the same IP network as the

HCS6320. Consult the network administrator, as necessary, for further information.

Caution: Do NOT initiate simultaneous menu sessions while a firmware update is

in progress. Doing so will interfere with the active processes and may corrupt the

system configuration and/or cause the HCS6320 card to cease normal operation.

1. Make sure the firmware update configuration (.cfg) and package (.pkg) files are available

on the same machine as the TFTP server. Then, set up the TFTP server, and point to the

directory in which the firmware update files are located.

2. With the Controller Menu on display, select the card or cards to which to download firmware:

Click on the down arrow at the right of the Card Select field, and select the appropriate

option from the drop-down list. You can update firmware on a single transcoder (select the

appropriate card number), the Controller (HCS6320), or all transcoder cards.

3. Type the IP address for the TFTP server in the TFTP Server IP Address field and the

name of the configuration file in the format “filename.cfg” in the Software Update File

Name field. The, click

Update. This will initiate the installation of both the configuration

and package files.

Note: If you wish to check the status of the firmware update while in progress, click on the

Status button at the right of the Update field.

4. When the firmware update is successfully completed, initiate a reset of ALL the cards that

received the firmware update (see “Perform an External Card Reset” below).

Perform an External Card Reset
This option enables you to reset a single transcoder, the Controller (HCS6320), or all transcoder

cards.

arrow at the right of the Card Select field, and select the appropriate option from the drop-

down list.
