Downloading New Software
If you have Farscan or Starview connected, it is
recommended that you stop Farscan or Starview
before downloading the software. Otherwise, the
download is very slow and occasionally the
program crashes.
After you have downloaded the new software,
check the following Configuration settings to
ensure that the configurations are still correct.
•
CONFIGURATION > TRIBUTARIES > ENABLE
•
CONFIGURATION > TRIBUTARIES > CODE
• For a repeater system:
CONFIGURATION > ADM
