Upgrade/Downgrade Firmware
CMT offers the ability to change the embedded rmware version on one or more DVRs via the
Firmware Tab. Only the DVRs that are accessible to this DVR Administrator (i.e., the DVRs in
the original group assigned to this Administrator) will be displayed on this Tab. As always, CMT
Administrators have access to all DVRs in CMT via the Firmware Tab.
CMT has two options for upgrading the DVR rmware:
1. On demand (Upgrade Now)
2. Scheduling an Upgrade Window (Schedule Upgrade)
Important:
In this version of CMT, each model DVR uses a unique Firmware Package.
Figure 27 Firmware Tab
1. Highlight the Firmware Package in the section titled ‘Please Choose a Firmware
Package’
2. Only the DVRs that are applicable will be displayed in the lower section (i.e., like
model units).

a. Highlight a single DVR by clicking on it.
b. Highlight more than one DVR by holding down the Ctrl Key and clicking on the
DVR Name
c. Highlight all DVRs listed by clicking on the Select All Button
4. Click on the Update DVR(s) Button to begin the process
5. In Figure 28, the warning message is displayed that noties the Administrator
about the deletion of the Zip Files from the DVR and requests conrmation prior
to beginning the process. Click on the OK Button to continue or Cancel to stop the
Firmware Process from starting.
6. In Figure 28, the Firmware Process has begun. The Upgrade Status and the Step
Progress and Overall Progress Bars will continue to track the process and indicate
when the Firmware process is complete.
Important:
The DVR will be locked until the Firmware Process is complete. The Lock will be
represented by a red icon next to the unit throughout CMT. This prevents any action
from being conducted on this unit that may interfere with the Firmware Process.
