This article describes how to upgrade the software in an AlphaCom server, running a black AMC-IP board (hardware revision 5 or later).

  • Use an internet browser and log on to the AlphaCom Web interface (AlphaWeb) and select System Maintenance -> System Upgrade.
  • Browse to the downloaded file, and select Upload. The file will now be transferred from the PC to the AMC-IP board.
