13.13.1 UPGRADING THE BRAILLESENSE FIRMWARE USING
THE INTERNET
To upgrade the BrailleSense Firmware via the Internet, follow these steps:
1) Make sure you are connected to the Internet and plugged into AC power.
Press "Enter" on "Upgrade BrailleSense Firmware" in the "Utilities" menu.
2) Press "Enter" on "Upgrade: Online". The BrailleSense connects to the HIMS
server, and your current software version is compared to the HIMS server
version. You are prompted to continue with the upgrade.
3) The BrailleSense begins downloading the upgrade files. The upgrade is
around 1.3 GB. Thus, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, it
may take a long time to download. If the upgrade fails, you may receive the
message, "Internet connection is not available. To try the upgrade again, press
"Space-Z" to cancel, and activate "Upgrade BrailleSense Firmware" again. If the
connection is successful, the upgrade files are downloaded.
4) After downloading the upgrade files, BrailleSense automatically starts the
upgrade process. Please remember you must not touch the BrailleSense until
the upgrade is complete, as pressing keys, resetting, or unplugging the unit can
interrupt the upgrade process, thus resulting in an incomplete installation. When
the upgrade is complete, you are returned to the "program" menu, and the unit
announces, "File manager".
5) After the upgrade is complete, check the software version by pressing
"Space-V" while in the "program" menu.
