Presets/Card Firmware Upgrade
Allows user control settings to be saved in a Preset and
then recalled (loaded) as desired, and provides a
one-button restore of factory default settings.
Also provides controls for selecting and loading card
firmware upgrade files.
• Preset Save/Load Controls
• Firmware Upgrade Controls
Firmware upgrade controls allow a selected firmware version (where
multiple versions can be uploaded to the card’s internal memory) to
invoke an upgrade to a selected version either instantly, or set to install on
the next card reboot (thereby allowing card upgrade downtime to be
controlled at a scheduled point in time).

Card Settings > Save button allows all custom user setting configurations to be
saved to a Preset.
Card Settings > Load button allows the saved preset to be loaded, with the preset
overwriting all card settings with the saved preset. When a preset is loaded, it
immediately becomes active with all user settings now automatically set as directed
by the preset.
All current settings (including list selections and scalar (numeric) control settings are
saved when a Preset Save is invoked.
1. Access a firmware upgrade file from a network computer by clicking Upload at the
bottom of DashBoard.
2. Browse to the location of the firmware upgrade file (in this example, My
Documents\v1.0.0019.bin).
3. Select the desired file and click Open to upload the file to the card.
• Immediate firmware upload. The card default setting of Automatically
Reboot After Upgrade checked allow a selected firmware version to be
immediately uploaded as follows:
1. Click Firmware To Load and select the desired upgrade file to be loaded (in
this example, “v1.0.0019”).
2. Click Load Selected Firmware. The card now reboots and the selected
firmware is loaded.
• Deferred firmware upload. With Automatically Reboot After Upgrade
unchecked, firmware upgrade loading is held off until the card is manually
rebooted. This allows scheduling a firmware upgrade downtime event until
when it is convenient to experience to downtime (uploads typically take about
60 seconds).
1. Click Firmware To Load and select the desired upgrade file to be loaded (in
this example, “v1.0.0019”). Note now how the display shows “Installs on
Next Reboot”.
2. Click Load Selected Firmware. The card holds directions to proceed with the upload, and performs the upload only when the
card is manually rebooted (by pressing the Reboot button).
3. To cancel a deferred upload, press Cancel Pending Upgrade. The card reverts to the default settings that allow an
immediate upload/upgrade.
