How to Upgrade Output Count on Congo and Cobalt Consoles

Congo Consoles

This process is to be used to upgrade console output count, NOT to update console software.

To obtain an upgrade code for your console, please contact an ETC Dealer and have the dongle number of your console ready.  See step 1 below for instructions on finding your dongle number.

Connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to the console.  This is required to enter the upgrade code.

  1. Check your current channel count by navigating to Browser>About>About Congo.
