Navigate to the COMMAND tab and simply press SUBMIT. A general command is
automatically generated and sent to all the UCW4026MCS to refresh the CONFIG.XML file.
Once the COMMAND is sent, the UCW4026MCS is ready to receive the update file. For a
QAM system, the unit will go to a black screen with the display “Software System Update”. For
an IP system, video will continue to play without interruption.
Step Four: Stream the Update
Click on “Stream” in the Android tab on the COM51. This will initiate the file transfer of the
software file currently in the Browser Upload from the COM51 to the UCW4026MCS. For a
QAM installation, you can verify progress on the display as the file is being received. Video will
continue to be available for an IP deployment. When completed, the UCW4026MCS will
reboot.
All the UCW4026MCS devices that received the update will ignore any CONFIG.XML message
to update to a new image, yet some devices may not have adequate time or completely received
the update file. Any device that did not update yet continues to see the update file available in
the CONFIG.XML may display the “System Software Update” message if in a QAM
deployment. You can choose to continue streaming the update, or you may remove the
systemSoftwareUpdate text from the CONFIG.XML.
2.4 Software Update via USB Flash Drive
To update the UCW4026MCS via a USB flash stick, copy the software image to the USB flash
stick.
Insert the USB flash stick into the UCW4026MCS. Remove power from the UCW4026MCS,
then using a paper clip, press and hold the reset button as shown below in Figure 8 - Reset
Button, while re-apply power. Continue to hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
