26 Administrator’s Guide
Restarting the Encoder
You can restart the encoder at any time. To restart the encoder, click Maintenance and click
the Reboot Encoder button.
Upgrading the Encoder Firmware
By upgrading the encoder’s firmware regularly, you can ensure that you are always using the
most recent version.
CAUTION: Do not switch the encoder off while the upgrade process is running. The process
requires several minutes, during which time the LED flashes indicating that the upgrade is in
process, firstly by flashing on/off at half second intervals, then rapid flashing as the new
firmware is copied to flash memory. When the LED returns to flashing once per second, the
process is complete.
To upgrade the encoder to a new version of firmware:
1. Ensure that a TFTP server is running at the IP address to be specified in step 4.
2. Ensure that the following firmware file is hosted correctly in the root directory of the TFTP
server:
encoder_vx.bin
3. Click Maintenance.
4. Ensure that the TFTP Server address is configured correctly (see above).
5. Ensure that the Firmware filename field shows encoder_vx.bin (or matches the name
of the firmware file if this is different).
6. Click the Upgrade firmware button.
7. The firmware is downloaded from the TFTP server and copied to flash. This process will
take several minutes.
Restoring Factory Defaults
You can return the encoder to its factory default configuration.
Note: If you restore the encoder to factory default settings, you will lose all previously saved
settings. You can however restore these if you have saved your configuration, as described
later in this section.
To restore the encoder factory default settings:
1. Click Maintenance.
2. Click the Return to factory defaults button.
3. Click the Return to factory defaults button again to continue.
