Firmware upload
TruVision Navigator offers the ability to upload firmware to devices remotely. You can
do this per device or in bulk-fashion across many like-devices.
To upload firmware to device(s), either right-click on the device in the Navigator and
select Upload Firmware or right-click on the Devices node in the Navigator and select
Bulk Firmware Upload. The Firmware Upload dialog will appear.
Select your source device type, browse for the applicable firmware, and select the
destination device(s) for the firmware upload.
Remember, TruVision Navigator does not do a file format check on the firmware file, so
ensure it is the proper file for that device type. In addition, the firmware file must reside
on the local machine. It cannot be accessed across network paths.
Click on the Upload Now button or schedule the firmware upload for a future date/time
via the Schedule button.
Upon initiation of the upload, a task will be created for each individual device firmware
upload in the Tasks panel. The status on each of those uploads can be tracked from
there. The Status column will include values of Pending, In Progress, and Success or
Failed. Place your mouse pointer over the status of each task to obtain more detailed
information about progress. You can also watch the status of the firmware upgrade via
the device’s On-Screen-Display. Firmware uploads may take several minutes to
complete.
For any scheduled task that will take place in the future, you must ensure that the
machine where the task was created is powered up and the Local Scheduling Service is
running on that machine. The TruVision Navigator application itself can be closed but the
machine and Local Scheduling Service must be running for the task to be initiated and
completed.
