Example of Exigo Devices

This article describes how to upgrade software on Exigo devices.

All Turbine based Exigo devisec uses the same software image:

  • Access Panels
  • Amplifiers
  • Secondary System Controller (SSC)
  • TKIE/TKIS kits
  • IP Speakers

Note that there is a separate upgrade procedure for the CRM-V IP Flush Master Station.

Upgrade using the Web Interface

The Exigo devices are upgradet via the web interface of the device.

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 latest Exigo firmware/software package and unzip the folder.
  3. Check if your local firewall is not blocking incoming ping/ICMP (Turbine station is pinging TFTP Server during update process).

Upgrade procedure

  • Start the TFTP server program and click Browse, and select the folder where the latest version of exi-x.x.x.x software files are located
TFTP32


  • Log on to the Exigo device web interface. Default login credentials are admin and alphaadmin. Select Station Administration > Manual Upgrade
  • Enter the IP address of the TFTP server (I.e. the IP address of your PC)
  • Enter the image file: exi-x.x.x.x, and click Save settings
Secondary System Controller - Upgrade 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.

Upgrade using Primary System Controller Web Interface

It is also possible to upgrade attached Exigo devices using the Web Interface on the Primary System Controller.
Go to System Maintenance -> IP station Upgrade:

In the TFTP Server fill in IP Address and Image name #Upgrade using the Web Interface

Additional Information

Installing a TFTP server on your PC

  • Download the TFTP Server program tftpd64 standard edition (installer) from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html.
  • For 32 bit computers download tftpd32 standard edition (installer)
  • Unzip the tftpdxx.yyy.zip file. (e.g. to C: \tftpdxx\)
  • Run the tftpdxx.exe file. The program is run by selecting the extracted .exe file, no installation is needed.
  • Turn off every thing except "TFTP Server" under Settings > Global. Escpecially important to turn off "DHCP Server", as this server part of the tftpxx application may interfere with other DHCP servers in the network
  • Select the base directory (e.g. C:\Software) by selecting the Settings > TFTP, then Browse
  • The TFTP Server program must be running during the software upgrade process

Troubleshooting

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