Software Updating

Software Updating

Software updating of the KAM-AV/SD modules is now done using the
NetConfig Networking Application PC option. This application is avail-
able free of charge from the Thomson Grass Valley web site as described
below. When the Kameleon module is installed in a frame with a 2000NET
module running version 4.0.0 required for this release, the Software Update
web page is no longer present.

Note

If you are using a 2000NET card with software earlier than 4.0.0, you may still
use the Software Update page, but NetConfig is recommended in frames
running 2000NET software 3.2.0 and later.

The procedure for updating software with NetConfig is given below. Also
refer to the latest KAM-AV/SD Release Notes for complete details on fea-
tures of the new software release and other important notes about the
release.
