Tips for the upgrade process Cross UTP connection To avoid packet loss caused by an overloaded network it is recommended to use cross UTP connection directly from the upgrading PC to the Lightware device Disable other Ethernet devices The Bootloader software always queries the PC s primary Ethernet adapter which is usually the adapter that is connected to the Internet for available Lightware devices It is recommended to disable every other Ethernet device secondary LAN Wi Fi 3G modem for the time of the upgrade If the Bootloader cannot find the Lightware device because the device is connected to the secondary Ethernet adapter cross UTP connection you need to disable the primary adapter Internet This way the Ethernet adapter which is connected to the Lightware device will become the primary adapter and the Bootloader can query it for Lightware devices If you disable an Ethernet adapter while the Bootloader is running you need to restart the Bootloader to be able to query the Ethernet adapter again A second option in this case is that if you know the IP address and port number of the Lightware device you may use the Add IP button which is described in section 10 2 2 on page 72 Remove I O connections It is recommended to remove all video input and output connections from the Lightware device Video sources and display devices may try to communicate with the Lightware device or send noise through the cable which may inte
