To upgrade multiple units, use the Multi-Select feature (Ctrl-click, Shift-click)
to select the desired units, then execute the Upgrade command. In this case, the
mode of transfer can be specified:
•
Consecutive – uses unicast method to upgrade each unit successively.
•
Concurrent – uses unicast method to upgrade all units simultaneously.
•
Codecast – uses multicast method to upgrade all units simultaneously.
Note that this mode utilizes Streamload 2 protocol, and is applicable to
CDM-8XX series (version 1.5.2.x or greater), SLM-5650A, and ROSS
units.
When the upgrade process begins, the progress of each of the targeted units is
displayed by the Operations Monitor, which will display the image burning
phase and report either successful completion (green) or failure (red). The oper-
ator can then safely reset the unit(s).
The monitor window also provides the option to terminate an upgrade attempt
by presenting an Abort button.
