Firmware Update |
Version V1.62 |
To keep Cynap up to date, update the firmware (software) when new releases are made available.
The firmware of your Cynap (including all built-in user interfaces and applications) can easily be upgraded to the latest version. The firmware update can be made using the vSolution Link Pro administration tool, by using a prepared USB stick, or in the settings of the device. Firmware update files can be downloaded free of charge at www.wolfvision.com (Support area).
When the update is complete and the display shows "UPDATE POWER CYCLE!", disconnect Cynap a for a few seconds from mains power, and reconnect it in order to reboot.
If the update process fails, it shows "UPDATE VIA USB Failed." or "UPDATE VIA LAN Failed.", depending on which interface was used for the update.
Under certain circumstances, Cynap has to be disconnected from the mains for a few seconds to complete the update or before the update can be applied again.
For security reasons, unsigned firmware files are blocked by default.
(Downgrading to previous versions may change behaviour of certain functions.)
Start vSolution Link Pro on a computer which has network access to Cynap and follow the normal firmware update procedure of the application (see help section of the software).
If necessary, power cycle your Cynap (check the front display).
Prepare a USB stick with a folder in the root, named "wolfvision" and copy the firmware file "c??.wgz" into it (FAT32 or NTFS, first partition).
Take the USB stick and connect it to one of Cynap's USB ports.
Multiple connected USB storage devices cannot be handled simultaneously.
A pop-up message will ask if you want to load the firmware.
If necessary, power cycle your Cynap (check the front display).
Use the keys on the front panel and select "Update via USB" and confirm with the OK button.
If necessary, power cycle your Cynap (check the front display).
Whenever the settings of the graphical user interface are opened, a notification of available updates is displayed. When the update cannot be performed immediately, this notification can be ignored temporarily.
To force a validation of the firmware version, open the About dialogue in the settings.
Select the pop-up option for updating.
Please note
