Installing Software Upgrades
New releases of the

system software can be
downloaded and installed using an internet connection
and the Rice Lake Web Update application. To use the
Web Update application, install the program
from the
Tool Kit CD.
Note
Before upgrading to a new version of
720i
system software, ensure that a copy of the
current indicator configuration has been saved
using
Revolution III
as these are not
interchangeable. Reloading the system
software requires a RESETCONFIGURATION
function and resets all configuration and
calibration values to their factory defaults.
