Software Upgrade Instructions: Overview

Overview Upgrade the Solar 9500 software using a PC connected to the network.

PC Requirements The PC must be running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. It must have a CDROM drive, a network card, Pentium II or higher, and 64MB of RAM. Use cable PN 408997-001 or a standard Cat. 5 network patch cable for the network connection between PC and the Unity MC Network. 127(For Windows 98 systems, only one network adapter is allowed. The PC IP network configuration must be on the same subnet as the Solar 9500 units you are upgrading. For example: If Solar 9500 units are 3.20.109.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 then, the PC must be 3.X.X.X netmask 255.0.0.0 The instructions provide details on this process.

Networked Units Upgrade one Solar 9500 (You need to know the IP address. Refer to the Solar 9500 Information Monitor Service Manual for IP address information.) and use it as a source for exporting software and defaults to other units. After upgrading one Solar 9500, the new software can be exported to all Solar 9500 units over the Unity MC Network.

Non-Networked Units „

Option 1: Create a mini-network using a 10 BASE-T concentrator (as shown below) to export the new software, or

„

Option 2: Use a Ethernet crossover patch cable (PN CLV5-1236XR-04-10, 10 feet) to export the new software to one unit at a time from the PC. Connect to Unity Network MC Ethernet Port
