To make the update of devices with new firmware as convenient as possible, the firmware files for the various models and LCOS versions are, ideally, saved to a central archive directory. The search for new firmware versions in this directory can either be initiated manually or automatically after starting LANconfig.
Automatic search for firmware updates
The directory where LANconfig looks for updates is configured under .
If you set an interval for the automatic search, starting LANconfig automatically displays all of the devices for which new updates are available.
Manual search for firmware updates
To seach manually for firmware updates, click with the right-hand mouse key on a device marked in the list and select the following point from the context menu: . If you highlight several devices, the item Check for firmware updates is displayed directly in the context menu.
View a full list of all firmware versions
If your search in the archive did not reveal a new firmware version, you can alternatively view a full list of all of the firmware files that have been found. You can, for example, switch back to an older version. LANconfig displays all versions found for the marked devices, including the version currently active in each device. For each device, you can select precisely one firmware version that will then be uploaded onto the device.
