6 Rebooting the device

Barix preloads the Instreamer 100 devices with ﬁrmware which is current at the day of production.

Barix constantly enhances the capabilities and functions and recommends to keep the ﬁrmware on

the Barix Instreamer up-to-date.

Barix recommends the use of the “Serial Rescue” method to update the ﬁrmware.

For the alternative method “Web Update” the

“Web server port” has to be set to “0” or “80” to work properly (0 will set the default port “80”).

If the web update is interrupted during the process (power or network loss) the device might

become unreachable. In that case the “Serial Rescue” procedure is the only remedy. Please keep

that in mind when planning a remote update.

6.1 Downloading the latest ﬁrmware

To download the latest “Instreamer” ﬁrmware version please visit www.barix.com.

• In the menu on the left side click on “downloads”

• In the center column select select the appropriate device (Instreamer or Instreamer 100) and

click on the name of the device.

• Click in the section “Firmware” on the “Instreamer Update Kit” link to download it.

• Save the ZIP ﬁle and unpack it to a local drive.

•

Read the "_readme1st.txt" ﬁle for detailed instructions.

6.2 Serial Rescue

The “Serial Rescue” procedure loads the entire ﬁrmware and resets the device to factory default

settings (current conﬁguration is overwritten).

It is therefore helpful to note the current setting. Printing out the “status” page is the quickest way

as the page contains all conﬁguration parameters.

Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Barix device in the URL ﬁeld followed by

“/status” and hit the “Enter” key.

• Example: “192.168.0.12/status”

To apply the Rescue using a serial cross cable and a PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP,

Linux or a MAC follow the steps in the “_readme1st.txt” carefully as there are several different

applications (batch ﬁles) to be started depending on the Barix hardware (new or legacy) and the

PCs COM port number used.

Calculate approximately 2 minutes to complete the

“Serial Rescue” procedure. After a successful rescue the device is ready for conﬁguration

according to your needs (see chapter 3 Device Conﬁguration).
