IPCP Pro Series • Firmware Updates 57

Firmware Updates

If the need arises, you can replace the IPCP ﬁrmware. This section covers the following

ﬁrmware-related topics:

• Determining the Firmware Version

• Updating the Firmware

Determining the Firmware Version

There are several ways to check which ﬁrmware version the control processor is using:

• View the device information in Toolbelt.

• View the general status information section of the IPCP embedded web pages.

• View the GlobalViewer (GV) web pages (if the control processor has already been

configured and the GV web pages have been generated, built, and uploaded to the

control processor).

Before using any of those methods, connect the control processor and the PC to the

same network. For details see the Hardware Features and Installation section starting

on page9, the Software-Based Conﬁguration and Control section starting

on page47, and the IPCPPro Series Setup Guide or the IPCPPro350DR and

IPCPPro355DR Setup Guide.

Using Global Conﬁgurator and Toolbelt

1. Start Global Configurator in either GCProfessional or GCPlus mode and open the

Toolbelt link, or open the Toolbelt software directly.

2. Either add the desired control processor manually or start device discovery and select

the desired processor from the list of discovered devices.

3. Click Manage in the row for the desired control processor and view the device

information that appears in that section.

Using a Browser

The control processor comes with a set of factory default embedded web pages. Also, after

conﬁguration, the GlobalViewer (GV) application could be installed in the unit, providing a

different set of web pages. See the Global Conﬁgurator Help File for information on how to

use that software and the resulting web pages. Either type of web page (factory default or

GV) can be used to ﬁnd the ﬁrmware version and part number of the unit.

1. Start a browser program.

2. Type the IP address of the control processor into the address ﬁeld of the browser and

log on to the internal web page or to the optional GlobalViewer web page stored in the

control processor (see the Global Conﬁgurator Help File for details).

3. Look for the general device or status information section.
