Checking Protocol-Specific Firmware Versions

The DeviceMaster UP may or may not have come from the factory loaded with the protocol
firmware that you want to configure.

The first step is to check to see if the appropriate firmware is loaded and if it is the latest version.

1.

If necessary, click Scan so that the DeviceMaster UP displays.

2.

Check the name and version number of the Software Version loaded on the
DeviceMaster UP.

3.

If the Software Version displays as SocketServer, you will need to

download the protocol

firmware

that you want to configure.

4.

If the appropriate protocol displays, check the

Comtrol ftp site

to see if a later version is

available.

5.

If the version on the ftp site is later than the version on the DeviceMaster UP, download
the file and then go to

Uploading Protocol-Specific Firmware

.

If the firmware type is the protocol that you want to configure and the version on the
DeviceMaster UP is current, you are ready to open the configuration web page using the
DeviceMaster UP IP address or highlight the DeviceMaster UP in PortVision DX and click the
Webpage button.

You can

download and access

the latest Quick Start and User Guides for your protocol for

configuration procedures.
