Installing DigiCart/E Firmware Updates
DigiCart/E can read a file called DCSYS.360 from a net drive and then load this into its operating system
memory. It can also save this file onto a DigiCart format Zip disk for use with units that are not connected to
the server.
1. Copy the DCSYS.360 file to the root directory of a Net Drive.
2. Log the DigiCart/E on to this Net Drive by selecting the drive or any of its directories. (If using a Zip
disk, select the Zip drive.)
3. Hold down the Utility key and press Hotkey 1 on the DigiCart/E front panel.
4. The display should show “Write Sys from Disk”. Press Enter.
5. The display will show “Writing Sys from Disk”. When done, it will show “Flash Update Success”.
Press Enter.
6. Cycle power. The new version number should be displayed during power up, it can also be displayed
when the unit is idle by pressing the Enter key.
Do not change the name of the DCSYS file.
Making a Zip Update Disk
To make a Zip disk for updating other units:
1. Format the Zip disk in the DigiCart/E as normal. If you are using a disk that has already been
formatted, select it so that the DigiCart/E logs it in.
2. Select the Net Drive that contains the firmware update file DCSYS.360.
3. Hold down the Utility key and press Hotkey 2 on the DigiCart/E front panel.
4. The display should show “Write Sys to Zip”. Press Enter.
Reverting to the Previous Version
DigiCart/E keeps the old version in memory until the current one is replaced with another update. To revert to
the old version:
1. Hold the Utility key while powering up the unit.
2. The display will show the old version number during boot up, then the prompt “Make Alt Primary?
Enter/Exit”. Pressing Enter causes the old version to be the primary version, and the newer version
the secondary. Pressing Exit causes the unit to run the old version only until power is cycled. You
can always revert back to either version being primary.
