NODE
Three versions of the IMS-4000 Node have been manufactured:
• The oldest versions only support 10 Mbps LANs (indentifiable by the black network jack) and they
have a firmware version starting with the number “2” (i.e. v2.59). Only install versions that begin
with 2.
• Nodes produced after April 2005 through early 2010 that support 10/100 Mbps LANs (silver
network jack) and have a firmware version starting with the number “3” (i.e. v3.16). Only install
versions that begin with 3.
• Nodes produced starting April 2010 that operate on 9VDC power and have a firmware version
starting with the number “1”. In ConsoleView this will show on the Properties>Diagnostics screen
under
Firmware Version (i.e. v1.49) Only install versions that begin with 1.
The latest ConsoleView software (v3.0.31) will automatically select the proper firmware files for your node.
If you have any questions please contact Sensaphone Technical Support for help in identifying the proper
firmware for your node. Selecting the wrong file may result in a non-functioning unit.
Installing New Node Firmware
Using ConsoleView, right click on the Node and select Node Properties, then the Diagnostics tab. Click the
Upgrade button then click “Yes” to upgrade this Node. Locate and select the correct file for your node and
click Open. The file will be installed into your node. When it finishes, click OK. After about a minute the
Node will automatically reboot and reconnect when the update is complete.
