8.3 Upgrading the Workbench Version of the Door PC
The Workbench software running on the router Door PC can be upgraded as new versions of
the Workbench software are released. This section describes the upgrade process. The
upgrade can be performed while the router is “On Air”. Crosspoints can be set using external
controllers during the upgrade process.
Before Starting:
• Allow sufficient time to upgrade Workbench on the Door PC. The upgrade process will
take around 30 Minutes.
• Copy the entire Workbench installation disk to a USB memory stick of at least 2Gb in
size.
Equipment required:
• Workbench client computer to backup the Workbench database if the database is
stored on the Door PC.
• USB Memory stick containing the entire Workbench installation disc.
• A USB mouse.
• USB hub and USB keyboard (only required if the installation doesn’t use the default
install settings)
Although upgrading the Workbench software is not a difficult task it is very important that
these steps are followed to minimize the risk of problems occurring during the upgrade.
Upgrading Workbench to Version 3.10
• The upgrade will result in the loss of router ports. Use the Port Editor after the
upgrade to setup the appropriate ports.
See the Workbench user manual for full details of using the Port Editor.
• The router controller association for all Tieline controllers will be lost during the
upgrade. After the upgrade use the Tieline Editor and select the appropriate router
controller from the list at the top right of the editor. Remember to re synchronize the
Tieline Tally Table using the button at the bottom of the Tieline Editor.
See the Workbench user manual for full details of using the Tieline Editor.
• Port Mappings should be unaffected but they must be checked after the upgrade to
confirm this.
See the Workbench user manual for full details of checking port mappings.
• Copy any existing keypad device configurations from the router controllers to the
tieline controllers because in Workbench Version 3.10 and above Multi-Matrix
behaviors now reference a keypad device stored on the associated tieline device.
Previously a multi-matrix behavior referenced a keypad device stored on a router
controller referenced by the tieline device.
See the Workbench user manual for full details.
• Router dial-up behaviors do not support routing via tielines in Workbench version
3.10 or later.
The USB memory stick containing the Workbench installation file will need to be plugged
into the Door PC.
