The ECoS act as a webserver via the network connector. If you connect via cable directly to your computer you will need a crossed cable. Normally red in color. Otherwise connect it to a network switch/router. Set an IP address and connect to the ECoS using a web browser. You will se a screen with a menu to the left where you find the firmware upgrade.

Hi,

There are 2 types of ethernet cables, normal and crossed. Nowadays most ethernet ports are autoconfiguring so a normal cable will work in any connection. Think of it like each computer is a male and the cable has a male connector on one end and a female on the other. Connecting 2 computers would not work using such a cable. The crossed cable would be like male-male. A network switch/router would have female connectors.

Anyway, as you already has connected to the ECoS webserver you should have an entry in the menu where you can upload the firmware.

He's talking about a crossover cable, to give it its proper name. The connections at one end are reversed from normal, hence the term 'crossover'.

And they can come in different colours - I've never seen a red one, but purple or yellow are common.

To update the Ecos you download the update files for the Ecos Monochrome (I have one of these also), which requires a login to the ESU download site. Once downloaded, connect to the Ecos with your PC's web browser (which you've done before), run the update function and point that to where your update files are.

What version are you at and what version do you want to update to?

Page 42 in the Ecos manual tells you how to update - paragraph 24.2.1, but I'll include the relevant bits here.

I will try to start the updates from the current version again (I’ll post up the version # when I verify it. I believe I need to do all the updates starting with the most current version and this looks to be about six or seven of them.
