    Problem Updating Vantage HD-7100

    I can not update my Vantage anymore :-(
    When trying with RS-232 it says "Timeout error"
    When i try with USB, red button works like UP/Down key
    not an update key like before.
    Any suggests how i can update it?
    I have also tried to set back to factory defaults but same errors when updating. PLEASE HELP!!

    Problem updating Vantage HD 7100S

    Dear Alan Smith,
    Please try to do like this.
    1. Null-modem cable (Connectors: DB9 Female x DB9 Female)
    Contacts:
    Connector 1 2 ……………. 3 Connector 2
    3 ……………. 2
    4 ……………. 6
    5 ……………. 5
    6 ……………. 4
    7 ……………. 8
    8 ……………. 7
    The cable you can buy in usual computer shop. Check cable contacts by tester.
    2. COM port configuration for PC and Channel Editor 3.11 (or 3.1):
    Bits per second: 115000
    Data bits: 8
    Parity: None
    Stop bits: 1
    Flow control: Hardware (or None)
    3. All devices (for example, mouse) must be switch off from RS-232 (PC port) through control panel and restart Windows.
    4. Please change .hdp on .dlp for your software (for example, SW 025701.dlp).
    5. Save your settings if it’s necessary, then remove cards, CAMs and receiver plug from electrical socket and set receiver selector on the rear panel in position off.
    6. Connect PC and receiver by null-modem cable then insert two plugs in sockets.
    7. Switch on PC (Windows starts) – Vantage stays switch off
    8. Please start Channel Editor 3.11(or 3.1) and push the button
    ”RS-232” for port control checking.
    9 Push button “UP” to select software then press button “Open”
    10 Immediately switch the rear panel selector in position “ON”
    11. Please watch to receiver display next information:
    - Downloading- DL Main- 0 to 100% - about 10...11 min;
    - Flashing – 0 to 100% - about 4 min.;
    - Loading 1;
    - Booting;
    - Welcome;
    - Name of any Channel.
    Remove receiver plug from socket (don’t touch rear selector)
    Upload is finished and my best wishes for you.

    Problem updating Vantage HD 7100S

    Dear Alan Smith,
    You have 3 ways to update keys:
    1. To install new software with 01 on the end (for example 025701) but it's long time to wait.
    2. Fast method to use USB Flash Drive (USB stick):
    - On the USB Flash Drive device (of your PC ) necessary to create folder (directory) with name media
    - Place file softcam.key in this folder media
    - Install USB Flash Drive on the receiver Vantage HD 7100S and switch on
    - Then Menu - Multimedia - USB1- OK - media -OK - select softcam.key and press OK - you must see information "Saving information and rebooting." Please wait for finish this procedure.
    3. If you know keys:
    - Menu - Channel Setup - Edit Keys
