Updating Software

The following procedure describes the software download process for both
the 2000NET module and for media modules residing in the networked
2000 Kameleon frame.

Overview

The Modular Remote Monitoring and Control System is an extension of the
Thomson Grass Valley Signal Management System (SMS) routing system
and uses the same File Transfer Protocol (FTP) technique to download soft-
ware.

This procedure assumes your Local FTP server is a 32-bit Windows host
running Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT.

If you do not have an FTP server, Thomson Grass Valley provides a free
FTP server package that is easy to install and operate. This procedure
assumes you will use the Xitami FTPD provided. If you already have an
FTPD available, you can skip steps 3 through 5.

The software update process consists of the following steps:

1.

Acquire the software update files and, if needed, the FTP Server
package.

2.

Extract the module software update files into an FTPD modular
directory.

3.

Extract the FTP Daemon (Xitami FTPD).

4.

Run the Xitami installation program.

5.

Move the FTPD configuration files to the Xitami directory.

6.

Start the FTPD.

7.

Use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates.

8.

Verify the software update results.
