TKIS-2

This article describes the upgrade procedure for TKIS-2 kits with version 3.0.x.x.
The TKIS-2 is used as standalone and inside the IP speakers ELSII-10H and ELSIR-10C.
Upgrading from version 3.0.x.x requires a special procedure.

Upgrade using the Web Interface of the station

Prerequisites

  1. A TFTP Server must be available. A TFTP server can be downloaded from here: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html.
  2. Download the software package tsi-3.0.3.5.zip, and unzip the package and store the files in a folder on your PC.
  3. Download the software package sti-prod-4.2.3.14.zip, and unzip the package and store the files in a different folder on your PC.
  4. Check if your local firewall is not blocking incoming ping/ICMP (Turbine station is pinging TFTP Server during update process)

Upgrade procedure

The upgrade is a three-step process:

1. Start the TFTP server program and click Browse, and select the folder where the version tsi-3.0.3.5 software files are located

TFTP Server - Browse to the folder where the software files are located


2. Log on to the Station web interface. Default login credentials are admin and alphaadmin. Select Station Administration > Manual Upgrade

3. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server (I.e. the IP address of your PC)

4. Enter the image file: tsi-3.0.3.5, and click Save settings

Load tsi-3.0.3.5 via the station web interface


The station will now contact the TFTP server and download the files. The upgrade procedure takes about 3 minutes. The process can be monitored by clicking the Log viewer tab in the TFTP server program.


When the station is up and running again, the next step is to install version 4.2.3.14:

5. In the TFTP server program, Browse to the folder where the version sti-prod-4.2.3.14 software files are located

6. In the Turbine web interface enter the image file: tsi2sti-4.2.3.14.ipk, and Save settings

Installing tsi2sti-4.2.3.14.ipk via the station web interface


The station will again contact the TFTP server and download and install the required files.

When the station has been updated to 4.2.3.14 (sti-4.2.3.14) it can be updated to exi software.
This is done using this guide.

Upgrade Using VS-IMT

It is also possible to use VS-IMT to upgrade the TKIS-2.

Prerequisites

  1. Download and install the VS-IMT tool (this can be found on AlphaWiki).
  2. Download the software package tsi-3.0.3.5.zip. Don't unzip the file.
  3. Download the software package sti-prod-4.2.3.14.zip. Don't unzip the file.

  • Press the Upgrade button to start the upgrade process. The status is shown on the screen. The Status will become Success when the station is up and running after the upgrade.

Repeat the process to upgrade from tsi-3.0.3.5 to sti-prod-4.2.3.14.

When the station has been updated to 4.2.3.14 (sti-4.2.3.14) it can be updated to exi software.
This is done using this guide.

Troubleshooting

In the case the upgrade is not successful it may be due to a windows setting.
