7. Locate the card you wish to upgrade in the Densite Upgrade Manager window, and click the down-arrow in the
Available package column.
The pulldown list should include the new upgrade package that you uploaded to the appserver or PC in the
previous step.
Version XYZ appears in the list as:
X.Y.Z-RC-N (for SME-1901)
where N is the package’s Release number. This is only used to differentiate the package with a beta version that
may exist.
8. Click on the new upgrade package name in the Available package pulldown list.
• The selected name will appear in the available package column.
• The Select/Bypass checkbox will be selected for that card.
• The Install progress window will become active, showing 0.0%.
• The Installed package, Installed firmware and Installed software columns will show the upgrade path that is
proposed; i.e. the existing version, and the version that will replace it.
• The Upgrade button at the bottom of the Densite Upgrade Manager window will become enabled.
Multiple SME-1901/SME-1911 cards can be upgraded simultaneously by selecting the upgrade package for each.
9. Click Upgrade
The Upgrade confirmation window appears. Click Yes.
Observe the Install Progress window to see the current status of the upgrade. While the upgrade is in progress,
the card LED is Yellow.
When the upgrade has been completed, the window will display the message “Upgrade succeeded” on a green
background.
Look at the Installed package, Installed firmware and Installed software columns to verify that the upgrade has
been correctly installed.
10. Close the Densite Upgrade Manager window by clicking the icon in the upper right corner.
11. In iControl, double-click on the updated SME-1901/SME-1911 card’s icon to open its control panel. Enable the
streaming ports that were previously disabled in step 2. If the IP address was modified for the upgrade, set it to
the previous IP address. The procedure is now complete for this card.
Alternate upgrade procedure:
If the recommended procedure is not possible, an alternate upgrade method exists when firmware version 1.2.0 or
later is already installed in the SME-1901/SME-1911. The procedure does not require the rear panel Ethernet port so
no changes have to be done to the equipment. This upgrade process will take approximately two hours per card.
Although the iControl card panel will not be available during the upgrade, the SME-1901/SME-1911 remains
functional until the end of the process at which time the card is automatically rebooted.
The software utility used to upgrade the SME-1901/SME-1911 is called Miranda Interface Updater. It is available in
iControl Navigator (appserver) v4.x, iControl Solo v4.x, or as a stand-alone Java application. Contact Grass Valley to
obtain the stand-alone application.
