Note:
The webUI (GUI) will keep up with (most) network changes (IP address
and netmask) initiated at the GUI. On the other hand, the webUI may not re-
connect to the FS1 when network changes are initiated at the FS1 Front Panel. The
browser may or may not time out and display "Disconnected". When network
changes are initiated in the FS1, the user should manually reestablish the webUI
connection by typing in the new address, if the IP address has changed, or clicking
the refresh button on the web browser.
Installing The Latest Software
Although the FS1 comes from the factory pre-installed with software, it may not be
as up-to-date as software posted on our AJA website. This topic describes the steps
required to upgrade the software in your AJA FS1.
Download the
Latest FS1
Software
Current and past releases of FS1 software are available on the World Wide Web
from AJA's website. To get the software, point your browser to:
This link is also available at the bottom of the “Update Firmware” screen (discussed
later on this page). Once you’re at the update page, FS1 software files can be selected
to download to your Mac or PC for upgrading your local FS1 machine.
Unpack the
Software
FS1 software update files are “ZIP” files, which you can open with a number of
standard and third party uncompressor applications. The software image that you’ll
install on the FS1 is a file with a name like fs1_ver_2.1.2.54.bin or similar.
Note:
Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the “.bin”
extension may not be visible to you in a file directory.
Uploading and
Installing the
Software to the
FS1
Uploading and installing the software update only requires a PC or Mac that can
“see” the FS1 via its ethernet connection. Follow this procedure to install the
software:
1. Point your browser at the FS1's upgrade page by clicking on the “Update
Firmware” link at the bottom of the navigation box on the left-hand side of
any FS1 web page. The FS1 web pages are discussed in Chapter 5.
