Before Installing the Comtrol Drivers Management Console
Uploading SocketServer
The NS-Link device driver loads the current firmware but not until the
DeviceMaster has shown that an old version of the SocketServer (older than 8.00)
or any firmware other than NS-Link Updater is running. The driver does not
upload anything unless it first connects to the default application (SocketServer)
on the DeviceMaster.
Note: If you are familiar with the NS-Link driver, you may want to review
information for
existing customers
.
Optionally, you can upload the appropriate version of SocketServer after running
the NS-Link device driver Installation Setup Wizard.
Use the following procedure to upload the latest SocketServer version using
PortVision DX.
1.
Start PortVision DX, click: Start > Programs > Comtrol > PortVision DX >
PortVision DX.
2.
Right-click the DeviceMaster or DeviceMasters of which you want to upload
the latest version of SocketServer and then click Advanced > Upload Firmware.
3.
Browse to the location where you downloaded SocketServer, highlight the file,
and click Open.
4.
Click Yes to the Upload Firmware
popup.
5.
Click Yes to the second Upload
Firmware popup.
You can click Refresh to verify that
the upload has been successfully
completed.
If the upload fails, use the PortVision
DX General tab on the Properties
screen to change the Bootloader
Timeout to 45 seconds and then repeat
