3.4 Update the Software

If MagTek Support Services has supplied .CAB files to apply EC2000 software patches, follow these
steps to install them:

1) Use the Ethernet cable to connect the service laptop to the EC2000. If necessary, you may instead

use the customer’s instant issuance workstation, provided it has Microsoft Internet Explorer and a
USB port with security settings that allow you to read from the USB thumb drive.

2) Launch the Internet Explorer web browser and navigate to https://ec-xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the

device’s serial number. The browser should show an

ExpressCard 2000

web interface page.

3) Open the

Software Upload

link on the left side of the page to display a

File to Upload

page.

4) Press the

Browse…

button to launch the

Choose File to Upload

dialog box.

5) Navigate to the folder that contains the .CAB files you want to apply (such as the field service

laptop’s hard drive or the USB thumb drive).

6) Select the .CAB file you want to apply, and press the

Open

button to return to the

File to Upload

page.

7) Press the

Send

button to upload the .CAB file to the device. The browser will display a status

message telling you when the patch will be applied (for example, “File Copied Successfully. Update
will be performed during next reboot.”). The device’s touchscreen may also go blank.

8) Restart the device by powering it off, then powering it on. Wait until the touchscreen once again

displays the ExpressCard 2000

Status

page.

9) In the web browser, open the

Upload Status

link on the left side of the page. If the browser reports

“SUCCESS,” repeat these steps for any additional patch .CAB files you need to apply, or continue to
the next section.
