Software update
From time to time, Pinell may make software upgrades available with bug fixes and/or additional features.
You can either check manually or set Pinell north to check periodically automatically (this is the default). If
Pinell north detects that newer software is available, it asks if you want to go ahead with an update. If you
agree, the new software is then downloaded and installed. After a software upgrade, all user settings are
maintained.
CAUTION: Before starting a software upgrade, ensure that Pinell north is plugged into a stable mains
power connection. Disconnecting power during a software update may permanently damage
the unit.
To turn automatic checking on or off, select MENU > Main Menu > System Settings > Software update >
Auto-check setting.
Software update manually
To upload new software to the Pinell north unit manually, identify and note the IP address of the relevant
Pinell north unit (press MENU > Main Menu > System settings > Network > View settings > IP address)
