Matrix Console Software
Software Installation Notes:
This software update is packaged as a single .zip archive containing the following:
- Matrix Software Update application (a Java archive file).
- These instructions.
The file format of the Java archive is compatible with both PC and Macintosh (OS X only) platforms but PC users should ensure that they have the latest version (V5) of Java installed. This can be downloaded from www.java.com.
- Quit the Matrix Remote application if it is running.
- On a PC or Mac connected to the same network as your Matrix, run the downloaded file (the file will have a ‘.jar’ extension).
There may be a considerable pause (30 - 60 sec.) before the application appears. - In the Matrix Update application, click on ‘Find’, ‘Find Matrix’ to search for your console on the network. If a serial number corresponding to your console appears in the list, click on that entry and click ‘Select’; if your console does not appear, re-check the network configuration.
- Check that the software version reported from your console matches the version that is running, then click on ‘Send’.
If the process stops after the ‘Compressing Data’ message, check that your computer and the Matrix have compatible IP addresses and subnet masks – refer to the ‘Configuration of Data Connections’ section of the Matrix Owner’s Manual or the on-line Matrix FAQs for guidance and trouble shooting. - Once the software has been successfully sent, click on ‘Save’ to erase the old software and save the new code into the Flash RAM on the Matrix Processor.
- On completion of the save process, click on ‘Finish’ to quit the Matrix Update application.
- Turn the desk OFF, wait a short while and then switch back ON again. Check that the console boots correctly. Check that the software version matches the new version that you downloaded.
