Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX

Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX

Use this section to upload a newer version of

SocketServer

on the DeviceMaster

LT using PortVision DX. Technical Support recommends updating SocketServer
before any further configuration to avoid configuration problems.

You can use this procedure if your DeviceMaster LT is connected to the host PC,
laptop, or if the DeviceMaster LT resides on the local network segment.

If the DeviceMaster LT is on the other side of several switches, a router, or
wireless, go to

Updating Firmware Across WANs (Windows)

on Page 70, which

provides more reliable uploads.

1.

Make sure that you have downloaded the latest SocketServer version from:

ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/software/socketserver

.

2.

If necessary, open PortVision DX > Start/Programs > Comtrol > PortVision DX >
PortVision DX
or use the desktop shortcut.

3.

Right-click the DeviceMaster LT or DeviceMaster LTs for which you want to
update, click Advanced > Upload Firmware, browse to the SocketServer .bin file,
and then click Open.

If the Detection Type is set to REMOTE, you may want to change it to LOCAL.
The DeviceMaster LT Status on a DeviceMaster LT that is set to REMOTE
displays in blue:

ON-LINE (TCP)
