Appendix C Software Updates
Periodically, MagTek will send e-mail notifications to customers that include software updates to apply to
the EC2000. These notifications will typically include step-by-step instructions detailing how an EC2000
administrator should apply the attached update. Before an EC2000 administrator can apply updates, it
may be necessary for a system administrator to prepare a workstation specifically for this purpose. See
section 3.2 Network Planning for details.
The provided instructions generally include the following steps, though there may be
additional steps pertinent to the specific patch being applied. The steps below are for
informational purposes only. Follow the instructions provided with the patch.
1) On a workstation set up to allow connections to the EC2000, obtain access to the .cab update file
provided in the e-mail from MagTek.
2) Determine the EC2000’s IP address or DNS name [see section 3.2 Network Planning and 8.1
Network (TCP/IP) Configuration for details].
3) Launch a web browser on the workstation and browse to either https://<ec2000_name> or
https://<ec2000_ip_address>, where <ec2000_name> is generally the letters “EC-” followed by the
device’s serial number. The browser will show a web page entitled “ExpressCard 2000 Main Page.”
4) Click the Upload Software link on the left side of the page. The browser will display a page like the
one shown in Figure 9-1.

5) Click the Browse… button.
6) Navigate to the .cab file downloaded from MagTek.
7) Click the Send button to upload the file to the EC2000.
8) The EC2000 will automatically restart at least once.
9) Monitor the upload status using the Upload Status link in the browser. When update is complete, the
EC2000 will report that status on the Upload Status screen.
