RAYN Growing Systems recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage firmware versions update to the Luminaire.

To update firmware you will use ETC UpdaterAtor and either an ETC gadget II (USB Device) or an ETC Network Gateway (cat5 Network device).

Using a ETC gadget II: 

(Note If you are updating multiple fixtures with gadget II this will be a very slow process and not all the fixtures may take the code.If you are doing multiple fixtures, I would suggest using a gateway.)

1) When you plug in your gadget II you will get a window that says USB/DMX device detected.

2) The click on the USB / DMX Devices button on the right-hand side.

3) A notification come up that discusses that fact that this will update one or more fixtures on a line and we do not support non ETC Opto’s. Press Next.

If using a network gateway:

1) Check IP of gateway, If it’s in the 10.101.50.x range, with subnet of 255.255.0.0 great.  Note: If you are on a larger network with an Network address server (DHCP), the addresses of the Gaterway and the laptop should automatically be assigned to the range of the DHCP server which will be different. For this your network setting should be on automatic as well. If not, you will have to determine an IP address manually.                                                                                                              

2) Change computers IP to be in the local Address in the 10.101.1.x range.

 

 

Open UpdaterAtor and choose the appropriate network card.
