KnowledgeBase: Upgrading Eos / Ion Output Counts

Filed under: , , [Edit Tags]

How to upgrade the output count of an Eos / Ion / RPU:

If your Eos or Ion console requires more outputs to control your system, it is possible to upgrade those consoles within certain ranges. An Ion may support up to 3072 (3k) outputs. An Eos may support up to 16,384 (16k) outputs. Contact your ETC dealer to purchase an upgrade code.

step 1)     Connect a USB keyboard to the console.  This is required to enter the upgrade code. 

step 2)     Go to the system shell.

a.     If you are currently in the console application, this may be accomplished by choosing “Exit Eos” (or “Exit Ion”) from the browser menu.

b.     If you are currently rebooting the console, you can reach the shell by clicking on the "Launching in …" countdown box.

step 3)     Select {Settings} from the main shell menu.

step 4)     Select {Maintenance}  This is on the RIGHT hand side of the screen.

step 5)     Select {Upgrade Console} on the LEFT hand side of the screen. (Scroll down for this option on Eos.)

step 6)     Enter your upgrade code into the field provided and select {Upgrade}.

step 7)     An alert window will appear to acknowledge the successful upgrade and new output capacity. Select {OK} in this window to close.

step 8)     Close the "Upgrade Utility" window by selection {Close}.

step 9)     Select {Accept} at the bottom of the "Maintenance" window to exit back to the shell.

The upgrade process is now complete.
