2. Click the “Browse...” button to select the file you previously downloaded. For
example: fs1_ver_2.1.2.54.bin contained in the zipfile downloaded from AJA.
3. When you have selected a valid FS1 image file, click the “Upload” button in
the web browser. The file you select will upload to the FS1 and be tested for
validity. Incomplete, corrupted, or non-FS1 software files are rejected.
4. Wait for the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes. When
done, the FS1 will prompt you to restart your FS1. After restart, the FS1 will
be running the new software. Progress is shown on the front panel of the FS1.
5. Once these steps are complete, the FS1 will be running the software you just
uploaded until the next time you upgrade it. The configuration of the FS1
prior to the upgrade will be preserved.
Ensure the new software is running by bringing up the FS1 web page again; the
software version is displayed at the top of all FS1 web screens. If for some rare
reason it didn't update, you can then run through the update steps again.
Notes:
On some browsers, the Retry page may appear even though the software upgrade
was successful. If this occurs, before clicking on retry, refresh the web page and
check the version number. If the new version number appears at the top of the
page, the software upgrade was successful. If the old version appears, click Retry.
If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1 will
boot the older software version and the upgrade process can then be re-started by
the user. This happens because the FS1 has been designed with a safety feature
where an internal “safe” copy of the previous software is retained in the event the
updating process fails.
GPI Connections
GPI Connector Pinout
The GPI inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from the power and ground on
the FS1 frame. There are two inputs and two outputs. Electrical isolation is provided
for up to two pieces of external equipment. The following guidelines apply to the two
GPI inputs and outputs:
• Input 1 and Output 1 share a common isolated ground on pins 6 & 8 (I/O
Ground 1),
