6.5 Updating software
In order to update the software, the PuTTY program package must be installed on the service PC.
Updates are performed by means of batch files and the Windows input prompt cmd.exe.
The update files should be located in the same folder as the batch files, to avoid error messages.
The following batch files are available:
You require this file for all updates. You can enter the system password
here in order to make it invisible in cmd.exe. You can also change the
paths of the programs pscp.exe and plink.exe here, e.g. in the event
of an update using a USB stick (default: C:\Programs\PuTTY).
Loading/exchanging the client certificate that is required for authentication
in acc. with IEEE 802.1X (EAP-TLS with X.509 client and server
certificates).
License file replacement. Necessary when upgrading the device’s license.
Gathers diagnostic information on the device in a file which is saved in the
same folder as the batch file.
Firmware update via the network of the controller or recording unit
Software update of the device
Performing update
Start cmd.exe and run the desired batch file:
setpathvars.bat (displays the paths of pscp.exe and plink.exe)
tc802-1x-cert.bat <Certificate> <IP address controller>
tclicence.bat <License file> <IP address controller>
tcdiag.bat <IP address controller>
The file with the diagnostic information is saved in the same folder as the
batch file. Name:
tc_<IP address controller>_diag.tar.gz
tctermfwup.bat <terminal firmware file> <IP address
controller>
The terminal number is hard-coded in the batch file, e.g.:
sh% -pw %ctrl_password% root@%2 "%dest_bin_dir%/etp 1
-fun %1
Updates to multiple controllers are performed individually for each one. To
do so, open the batch file in an editor and change the number of the
controller.
tcswup.bat <TC software file> <IP address controller>
