OS Update help

[BeWeaveMe]

Hi MX users!
I've got two MXs ,one with v3.12 and one with v1.05.

I have the 256 ram, and a 4mb 3v smart card.

My question is, can I save the 3.12 os on the smart card, and update the 2nd MX (1.05v) using just the card?
Or do I have to use ViewNet as the manual states?

Im not finding any information about my particular scenario, so thought I'd reach out and ask.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, You can update directly from the SmarCard. You do not need MX-VIew.
You can write the software on the running MX with 3.12
You put the card in the other one and power-on. It will boot and load the Smart card content.

Warning: Could be possible that your MX will not see the Smart card. (dust and bad contact). In this case, power off, remove and insert the smart card 10 time. Could help....

Thanks for that info,
The issue I'm seeing is, the card seems to accept the 3.12 from machine 1 fine, but I insert the card into machine 2 and boot, but it just boots normally.

I've rewritten 3.12 on the card one more time to make sure it was actually happening, and machine 1 is saying all the right things to make me believe it's copied the os , but when I try in machine 2 (v1.05) it just ignores the card and boots.

Is that the correct process, install card in slot, and boot, machine automatically begins update from card?

Or is there another trigger to make the update begin?

Thanks for any help
