Once notified of a new software release by Digital Barriers, updates are available for download from the EdgeVis support site for installation onto the device.
There are three ways to update the firmware – locally using a USB Pen, or remotely using EdgeVis Server, or using the encoder’s local web interface.
To update remotely, a System Administrator must upload the new firmware to the Firmware section within EdgeVis Server web interface and then, from within the Encoder page (under the Firmware section) select Upgrade Firmware.
Copy the firmware file onto a USB flash drive and insert into a USB port on the front of the unit. For devices with multiple three-colour LEDs they will all turn solid green upon completion. For those devices that do not have LEDs it is recommended to use a timer to measure 20-30 seconds before unplugging the USB. Then, if successful, the encoder will reboot.
Log into the local web interface and select the Upgrade firmware menu option from the Advanced Settings section at the bottom of the main page.
