Updating Compass

 
Copy the Compass Installation file onto your eConnect Manager Console, or place it into its CD drive.
 
Note: Make sure to have the Compass Servers info filled in the configure section before starting an update. See Section “Configuring eConnect for first time”.
  1. From the eConnect Manager console, on the Updates/Compass tab, enter the path and installation setup name to the Compass software in the From field or click on the browse icon beside the From field and select the file name to load.


  1. Click on Open to complete the file selection process.

  2. Press Load New Update and accept the Software License Agreement.


  1. The Distribute Update button becomes enabled.

  2. Click the ALL Button on the right or select the desired stations to which to distribute the first schedule. 

  3. Click Distribute Update to display the scheduling window.

  1. Select the desired schedule and then click OK.

Note – you can schedule the distribution process multiple times and it can span several evenings if necessary.

 

Do NOT distribute updates to stations during business hours because this process dramatically slows down the network. If necessary, you can distribute updates to stations over several nights.

  1. Check the “Update Status” column to verify the download for selected clients was “Completed” or “Skipped.”

  2. Once the Distribution is completed distributing the new software, return to the eConnect Manager Console and initiate the install for all clients using the desired schedule – usually after hours as this will cause a system reboot.
