{{note|Make sure you are using the [[Downloads#VS-IMT - Intercom management Tool|latest version of the IMT tool]]. }}

== Discover devices ==
* Start the IMT tool, and '''Create''' a new Project
* Select '''File''' > '''Launch Station Wizard''', which will take you throught the neccessary steps
* Select '''Next''' to go to the [[VS-IMT Discover Stations|Discover Stations]] window
* Enter the IP address range you want to scan in the '''From''' and '''To''' fields, and click '''Search/Start'''. The IMT will now show a list of discovered devices
** By default the IMT is using the default credentials ('''admin'''/'''alphaadmin''') to communicate with the devices. Uncheck '''Use default credentials''', and enter the actual credentials if default is not used.

* Select which stations to upgrade by checking the '''Select''' flag for individual stations, or the '''Select all''' flag for all stations
* '''Next''' will take you to the [[VS-IMT Identify Stations|Identify window]] (we skip this step now), and '''Next''' again to the '''Upgrade Stations''' window
* Import the software image files into the IMT repository by selecting '''Import image..'''. Browse to the location where the downloaded files were stored, and select '''Open'''.

* If there are multiple software images in the IMT repository, select from the dropdown menu in the '''Station software images''' panel which software image version to use
* The '''Software''' column shows the current software version in the device, and the '''Target SW''' shows the software version after the upgrade
* Select which devices to upgrade by '''Ctrl+Click''' (individual devices), '''Shift+Click''' (range of devices) or '''Ctrl+A''' (all devices). Selected devices are highlighted in blue color
** Different device types (e.g. INCA and Turbine) can be updated at the same time. The Exception is Flowire, which has to be upgraded separately
* Click the '''Upgrade''' button to initiate the upgrade process

The '''Status''' and the '''Upgrade''' colums show the upgrade process. Wait for all upgrades to complete.The status will be reported '''Success''' when a device is up and running with the new software.


{{note|'''Turbine notes''':
* When upgrading from version '''3.1''' and later, one can update directly to the final version, e.g. '''vsft-4.11.3.0'''
* Upgrade from version '''3.0.3.5/3.0.3.6''': First update to '''sti-prod-4.7.3.0''', and finally '''vsft-4.11.3.0'''
* Upgrade from version '''3.0.3.4''' or earlier: First update to '''tsi-3.0.3.5''', then to '''sti-prod-4.7.3.0''', and finally '''vsft-4.11.3.0''' }}
{{note|'''Flowire notes''':
* Flowire units cannot be upgraded at the same time as other device types. Flowire units must be upgraded separately.
* Flowires will be upgraded sequentially, one-by-one
* Upgrade of a Flowire device is disabled if the device has an IP Address in the range '''169.254.1.x''' }}
{{note|'''Turbine Video Station TCIV-x notes''':
* If video is not working after having upgraded the [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Turbine Video Station TCIV-x]] to firmware version 4.11, see article [[TCIV - No video after upgrading to v. 4.11]] }}

{{note|'''IC-Edge vs Pulse systems''':
* In an IC-Edge system the minimum firmware requirement is Turbine ver. 5.x and INCA ver. 2.10.x.x. This is a requirement for all devices in the system.
* In a Pulse system all devices must be running Turbine firmware 4.x and/or INCA firmware 2.9.x.x (or older versions)
* If you have Turbine device with version 5.x, or an INCA device with version 2.10 or newer (i.e. IC-Edge), and want to use them in a Pulse system, you need to downgrade the Turbine to ver. 4.11.3.x, and the INCA station to version 2.9.3.x. Use the download links at the top of this article to get the firmware, and use the procedure described in this article to perform the downgrade}}
