— This field displays the location of the update
firmware file. Click

, then locate and select the firmware file.
•
Upload:
— After the firmware file is selected, click

to begin the update.
Cancel
stops the update and clears the
Browse
field.
NOTE: Depending on the browser, the firmware upgrade path displayed in the browse
folder field is not the same as the file path. The following list shows how the upgrade
path appears for the recommended browsers uploading a firmware file named
"49‑244‑50‑0.18.0001.eff‑full"
.
•
Chrome:
C:\fakepath\49‑244‑50‑0.18.0001‑full.eff
•
Firefox:
49‑244‑50‑0.18.0000‑full.eff
•
IE:
C:\upgrades\Peanut(SMD)\Build 0.18.0000\49‑244‑50‑0.18.0000‑full.eff
A dialog opens to indicate upload progress. When the upload completes, the device
firmware is updated. After the update, the SMD 101 automatically reboots.
NOTE: Playback stops, and the connection is lost during the reboot, requiring a refresh
of the browser once the reboot is complete.
Configuration panel
A configuration file contains a snapshot (or record) of the relevant settings of the SMD 101.
The settings are divided into two files: box.cfg with general settings, and ip.cfg with the
network configuration. These two files enable multiple SMD 101 devices to be configured
identically (saving setup time), or to backup the current configuration of the SMD 101.
Multiple config files can be saved, then restored in order to customize an SMD 101 for
specific tasks.
To configure multiple devices with a single config file:
1.
Configure the first SMD 101.
2.
Click
Save
to place the configuration file in a location accessible from each SMD 101.
The drop-down list provides two options:
•
Box
Config
— Select this option to save all settings including channel presets
but excluding network settings from both the
Configuration
and
Advanced
Configuration
pages.
•
IP
Config
— Select this option to save all network related settings. The file
contains additional reference information such as the device name, date, and time,
but only the network settings are restored.
