General

When you select the “Manage Software”, two tabs are presented: the “Software Install” tab and the “Software on USB” tab.

Note: Although the examples in this section show the E2 processor, the instructions apply to all Event Master processors and to the EC-200 and EC-210 controllers.

Software on USB

From this menu the user can select a firmware package from the EM directory on a flash drive that is inserted in the front-panel USB connector of the EMP.

Software Install

How to upgrade your system:

1. Outside of the GUI open a new window and navigate to the folder containing the file you want to use to upgrade your system with.

2. Select the file and “drag and drop” it on top of the green button. The file is compressed and it has tar.gz extension.

   

3. Click on the blue “Upload” button. This action will copy the file from the computer into the Event Master series processor.
4. A green bar appears indicating the progress of the upload process.

5. While the unit updates its software the following message appears:

   The system will now restart. Please wait...

   

   Note: The upload process takes several minutes.

6. When the upload is complete, a window appears instructing you to restart the unit.

   

7. While the system reboots and installs the new software, the web app displays a message indicating that it can’t communicate with the unit. This is normal and no action is required on your part.
