Updating Firmware via Extron IP Link File Manager Software
This is the recommended method for updating the firmware for an IPCP. It allows you to
update one or several IPCPs at a time via an IP connection.
1. Download the .s19 firmware file.
2. Start the IP Link File Manager (IPLFileManager) software on the connected PC. The
main IP Link File Manager window appears on screen, as does the smaller Select
Startup Mode window, shown in figure 45.
3. Click one of the Select Startup Mode buttons to choose how to add an IPCP to
the firmware update list, click OK, and follow any on-screen instructions to add IPCPs.
• Open Configuration File — Select this
mode to open an existing configuration file.
• Import GC2.x Project
(recommended) — Select this mode to
import a GC2.x project file and the names
and IP addresses of the devices in it.
• Manually Add IP Link Device(s) —
Select this mode to add IPCPs individually
by IP address.
• Automatically Detect IP Link
Device(s) — Select this mode to scan the
network for IP Link devices, including IPCPs.
You may need to provide administrator
passwords for some units.
• Use Previous Setup — Choose this
to show IP Link devices from your previous
session of IP Link File Manager.
See the IP Link File Manager Help file if you need additional details on how to use any of
those modes.
4. Click on the Options menu and select Reset Device After Firmware Update.
This option causes the controller to perform a ZY reset, which resets all device settings
and deletes all files from the IPCP after the firmware is updated. See
ZY command
details on page 74 in the SIS section.
5. Click on the Tools menu and select
Firmware Update Manager
(see figure 46).
The Firmware Update Manager
window appears.
