Installing a two channel upgrade

Tools and materials needed:

  • Upgrade codec module.

This section provides instructions for the following field kits.
Upgrade Nomenclature Description
K2-XDP3-2IO-FK K2 Summit 3G+ 2 HD/SD channel I/O field kit. Adds 2 HD/SD bi-directional channels to the K2-XDP3-02 or any of the K2- XDP Series clients. When used with the K2-XDP Series clients all codec modules must be replaced with the Summit 3G+ module.
CAUTION:
This system contains board-level components that must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Wear a wrist strap grounded to the system chassis when handling system components.
  1. If you intend to upgrade K2 software along with this Field Kit upgrade, upgrade K2 software first, completing all upgrade processes as documented in the "About This Release" section of the K2 Topic Library, then proceed with this procedure.
  2. Restart the K2 system.
  3. Log in to Windows.
  4. When the AppCenter logon box appears, click Cancel and Abort.
  5. Delete the channel suites file in the C:\profile\ChannelSuites directory. The file name begins with the K2 system’s name. For example, if the name is k2client1, then the file name is K2CLIENT1_localConnection.xml.
  6. Shutdown the K2 system.
  7. From the rear panel, remove the blank plate that covers the empty codec module slot, as illustrated.



  8. Install the upgrade codec module as illustrated.



    Note: With a firm grip on the metal (EMI) bracket, ensure the board is level and parallel to the card guides to avoid damage to the components on the edge opposite the rear panel.
    CAUTION:
    Improper handling can damage components on the board. Do not allow the board to come in contact with the chassis sheet metal during removal or installation. The components on the edge opposite the rear panel are the most susceptible to damage.
  9. Start up the K2 system.

    On restart, the K2 sysem rescans hardware and automatically discovers the new codec module.

  10. If a message appears, follow the instructions in the message to either restart or shutdown/startup. This second startup process is necessary so that the K2 system can reconfigure appropriately.
  11. After installing the replacement codec module, install the current version of K2 software and restart.

    This is a re-install of current software, not an upgrade. You must install the same version of software that is currently on the K2 system now, regardless of whether you did or did not upgrade software earlier in this procedure. You install software now to ensure that the board is flashed with the proper version to be compatible with software currently on the K2 system. An over-install is all that is required. You do not need to first un-install the software.

  12. Log in to Windows and AppCenter, and open Configuration Manager. The new channels are available for configuration.
Configure channels as follows:
  • If you are installing a codec license field kit, do not configure your new channels yet. First install the codec license field kit, then configure your new channels.
