Updating Software
Updating 8949SVM software requires a file named 8949SVM-LOC_1.0 or
8949SVM-UMD_1.0, depending on the module type you are updating.
These files will be available on the Thomson Grass Valley ftp site when soft-
ware updates are released. Refer to Contacting Grass Valley
on page 4 .
To install a software update do the following:
1. Connect to the 8949SVM via the Ethernet with your PC (see Networking
the 8949SVM on page 23 ).
2. Place the file(s) for the specific software update(s) on your PC desktop.
3. Double click on the 8949SVM-LOC_1.0 or 8949SVM-UMD_1.0 file to
run the application as shown in
Figure 12 .
4. All the 8949SVM devices on the same LAN will be identified by MAC
address using query on IP Multicast.
5. Select the 8949SVM device in the list you wish to upgrade. This
illustration shows only one module on the network. Once the
application recognizes the device, it will fill in the Product Name
(8949SVM-UMD), Product Version currently loaded (x0.8c), and the
upgrade version it is loading (x1.0).
Note If the unit is missing in the upgrader list, check that the IP Multicast of the
module is set to 232. 2. 3. 2. If not, set it to this address.
