Integrator's Complete Guide to PCC Premier Precision Camera Controller Importing Configuration Data Web interface, System page If you have already exported a known good configuration, you can import it back to the camera controller, or copy it to other PCC Premier camera controllers. Note Currently, the camera controller cannot import a .dat file that was exported from a different version of software than the controller is on. Example: You cannot currently import a 1.0.0 configuration to a 1.0.1 controller, or vice versa. To restore an exported configuration: 1. Click Import. 2. In the Import box, click Choose File. 3. Browse to the .dat file for the PCC Premier and select it. 4. Click Begin Importing Data. The Import Data box displays progress messages, the touch-panel displays its reboot sequence, and you get a message that the device has been rebooted. You will need to log in again after importing the data. You will need to use the admin password that was in use when the data was exported - it is part of the configuration data. Updating the Firmware From time to time, we issue new firmware to introduce new features and other product improvements, and to fix issues that turn up. We recommend keeping all your Vaddio products up to date, to get the most out of them. Firmware updates do not change the camera controller's configuration. When you log in again after the update finishes, the password is unchanged. Note It is rare for an update to generate errors. If this happens, please read them carefully and record them. Screen shots of the error message may be very helpful in troubleshooting the problem. If the update does not finish successfully, contact Vaddio technical support immediately. 1. In a separate browser tab, go to support.vaddio.com and download the appropriate update file. 2. In the Firmware Update pane, click Choose File. Then browse to the update file and select it. 3. Click Begin Firmware Update. 4. READ the information in the Confirm dialog box and be sure you understand it. This stuff may seem boring, but it could save you a lot of time and aggravation. 5. When you are ready to start the update, click Continue. Both the web interface and the touch-panel display messages showing that an update is in progress. The camera controller reboots as the last step in the update process. We strongly recommend checking for firmware updates for your Vaddio cameras when you update the camera controller firmware. 37
