Installing Updates
• AMC Configure > System
The AMC Configure > System page shows several pieces of hardware and software information currently running on the AMC.
The system uses a simple Internet based updating mechanism that requires Internet access to the Digital Alert Systems/Monroe
Electronics update server. Updates are not “pushed” to the AMC, rather they are only available on “demand” by an admin
operator. This means an admin level operator must click the Check for Updates for the system to contact the update server to
see if any updates are available. In addition there is a Remote Support slider switch, which an admin can activate, allowing
linked access to the Digital Alert System customer support network. This feature provides a mechanism for greater detailed
support and evaluation, however should only be enabled when requested by DAS technical support.
1. Remote Support slider switch activates linked
access to the Digital Alert System customer
support network. This feature provides a
mechanism for greater detailed support and
evaluation, however should only be enabled
when requested by DAS technical support.
2. Clicking the Check for Updates button instructs
the AMC to check the Digital Alert Systems
server for any updates.
1. The current status of each element will be
displayed on an Updates pop-up. The current
version and the latest version of each part of the
system is displayed
2. If any new updates are available the display will
indicate so in the tabular form shown at left.
3. If all versions are current or to ignore any
updates click Cancel
4. To update any one or all of the components
select the checkbox under Package on the
associated line, then click the
Update button.
If the Updates page shows more than one
module available it is generally advised to check
them all to assure the OS and Applications
remain synchronized. Some features or functions
may not operate properly if only a single
package is updated.
IMPORTANT: An App update requires a manual
browser page ‘refresh’ and an OS update
requires a manual reboot after closing the
update dialog for changes to take effect.
