介紹
System T installations typically include one or many SSL surfaces, Tempest Engines, and Network I/O units. This software release comprises control surface software and Tempest Engine card firmware updates. To identify the current software version running on any console(s), go to Menu>Setup>Service>Admin>About. Updating to V4 directly from V2 software is not supported; a V3.0 or later version must be already installed first due to significant changes to the console’s embedded operating system. V3 and later software require a one-time OS licence to update from V2. Contact support@solidstatelogic.com for further information on licensing. Refer to the V4.2.13 Features Release Notes for further information before installation.
請注意: This update requires any manual IP address settings for the console’s interfaces to be verified/re-entered after the update. Ensure all fixed IP addresses are recorded before commencing this update, including the S400. If this includes S500 Meter Bridge Processors, refer to the Restore Fixed IP Address to Meter Bridge Processor section in this document for further information.

關於 USB 安裝程式連接的重要說明
It is possible that the USB flat installer will not be detected when connected via ports on the console surface. Should this be the case, connect directly to the processor motherboard/carrier board USB ports. This means locating the bay position in which the processor is located and temporarily removing the relevant touch screen or surface tile to insert the USB, seating them back in their usual position while the installation process completes.

Important Note on Boot Menu Display
F7 on an external keyboard will launch the boot menu to select a boot device. In some cases, the menu will not appear from power on, and a software restart of the FPP is required by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination before tapping F7 again.

更新儀表橋接器處理器
僅適用於具有米橋的 S500/S500m 表面。

1. Connect the USB install stick to an available MBP USB port (internal if not detected externally). Connect a keyboard to the MBP USB connection at the rear of the console.
2. Power on the console and tap F7 on the keyboard continuously to open the boot menu. Should the boot menu not appear, press Ctrl-Alt-Del then F7 again.
3. Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the keyboard to select the UEFI device (USB Flat Installer), then press Enter. If there are two devices listed as per the screenshot below, select the upper UEFI option. The console will now boot from the USB Flat Installer.
4. The screen will appear blank for approximately two minutes while the OS installer starts. When the Command Prompt ‘Solid State Logic Tempest Installer’ appears, choose option 1: “Install image and KEEP user data.” This retains the existing MBP configuration.
5. . Progress will be shown at the bottom of the window as a percentage，大約需要五分鐘才能完成。 完成後，將顯示訊息“您已刪除所有可移動媒體嗎？” 會出現。 從處理器上實際移除 USB 扁平安裝棒，然後按鍵盤上的 Y 繼續。
6. The ‘Please press 1 to REBOOT’ will now display. Follow the on-screen instructions and press number 1 on the keyboard to reboot.
7. Windows Setup will begin with various progress screens and automatic restarts during this process. 請注意: It may look like the installer is not active during this time. Be patient and DO NOT power cycle the console during this process. When complete, the Meter Bridge will show a blank meters layout.
8. If using DHCP for the MBP connection to FPP, the MBP update is complete. If using a fixed IP address on the MBP, follow the steps on the next page to manually restore this.

Restore Fixed IP Address to Meter Bridge Processor. Applicable only to S500/S500m surfaces with Meter Bridge using a fixed IP address. If using DHCP, proceed to the next section (Update FPP). \

1. Power off the console, then boot from the Flat Install USB again by pressing the F7 key. When presented with the list of options, select 5) Go to command prompt
2. At the command prompt, type notepad and press enter to launch the application, then go to File>Open and change the file type dropdown from Text Document to All Files.
3. Navigate to the console’s Data directory by first selecting ThisPC, then identifying the relevant drive; Data is D:\ under normal operating conditions, but booting from the flat installer will typically push this to F:\.
4. Within the Data drive, open the SSL/TempestBroadcast/ConfigFiles directory and locate the AdapterIpSettings_XXXXXXXXXXXX.xml files. There will be two of these – open both of them in separate NotePad windows: AdapterIpSettings_{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}.xml = previous config file with fixed IP address setting AdapterIpSettings_XXXXXXXXXXXX.xml = new config file with DHCP setting
5. Note the new file comprises the following line: true. Copy these lines from the old file – where ‘x’ is the fixed value – then paste over the line quoted above in the new file. Leave all other lines intact, then save the new file. false x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

更新前面板處理器
Your System T console surface may have more than one FPP for multi-operational positions or due to the large size of the surface. If you are not able to determine this, contact your local SSL Support Office. Additional FPPs in positions 2 and 3, etc., must be updated before the host FPP in position 1. This includes any remote TCR or other console surfaces configured as Members. The update instructions are the same for each:

1. Connect the USB install stick to an available FPP USB port (internal if not detected externally). Connect a keyboard to any available FPP USB connection.
2. Power on the console and tap F7 on the keyboard continuously to open the boot menu. Should the boot menu not appear, press Ctrl-Alt-Del then F7 again.
3. Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the keyboard to select the UEFI device (USB Flat Installer), then press Enter. If there are two devices listed as per the screenshot below, select the upper UEFI option. The console will now boot from the USB Flat Installer.
4. The screen will appear blank for approximately two minutes while the OS installer starts. When the Command Prompt ‘Solid State Logic Tempest Installer’ appears, choose option 1: “Install image and KEEP user data.” This retains the existing FPP configuration.
5. 進度將以百分比形式顯示在視窗底部tage, taking approximately five minutes to complete. Upon completion, the message ‘Have you removed all removable media?’ will appear. Physically remove the USB Flat Installer stick from the processor, then press Y on the keyboard to progress.
6. The ‘Please press 1 to REBOOT’ will now display. Follow the on-screen instructions and press number 1 on the keyboard to reboot.
7. Windows Setup will begin with various progress screens, and automatic restarts will happen during this process.
   請注意： It may look like the installer is not active during this time. Be patient and DO NOT power cycle the console during this process. When complete, the console will boot into the usual Front Panel display/console GUI.
8. Navigate to the Menu>Setup>Service>Update page to confirm the Current Version for the Control Software is showing V4.2.13.67660
9. Repeat the above steps for any other FPPs fitted to the console surface (Position 3, then position 1 FPP last, for example）。
10. Once the final FPP update has been completed, navigate to Menu>Setup>Service>Network and manually restore fixed IP address configuration – fixed IP addresses will have been reset to DHCP during this update procedure due to necessary changes in the underlying changes to adapter configuration files.
11. 再次重新啟動控制台，以便它讀取其控制台名稱 file，在選單>設定>選項>系統中可見。

T-Engine OCP 軟體（自動）
此過程是自動的，將在主 FPP 啟動到新軟體後三分鐘內發生。 選單>設定>服務>更新將在任何已連接的 T-Engine 旁邊顯示“自動更新待定”，然後顯示“錯誤：連線遺失”。 這是下載程式碼和 T-Engine 自行重啟的結果。 連線將很快重新建立。 請參閱“軟體和韌體版本超過”view' 本文檔後面的表格用於確認顯示了正確的版本。
