Vodality Series Firmware To install the latest version of SignControl Advanced on your Vodality Series devices, follow these instructions:
Note that in the unlikely event that your current firmware has a number below _135 (note the underscore coming before that three digit number) then you cannot use this firmware upgrade process, but must ship the device to Vodality, LLC. to upgrade. This situation is uncommon. Now your device should be up and running SignControl Advanced. Note: If your device has problems mounting the SD Card, you must power the device down and remove and reinsert the SD Card. Some devices need to be taken apart to do this. Also, the firmware upgrade must be able to mount the SD Card. So if you notice that you get a message on screen that it cannot mount the SD Card, do not upgrade the firmware until your SD Card can be mounted again. Version '_246' features a new field in SignControl WAN for entering in a server alternative to signcontrol.net. SignControl.net remains the default value for that field, but now users can license signcontrol to run on their own private servers, and this firmware allows for that option. The value to enter into that server field can be found at the top of the main home page after logging into signcontrol with the Legacy SignControl checkbox selected. Version '_244' fixes a memory leak. Upgrade recommended. Version '_243' corrects Message and Clock color bugs, and allows playing content not through SignControl.net. Contact it@vodality.com with subject "Firmware 243 non-signcontrol mode" for details. See also Basic Instrutions for non-signcontrol mode. Version '_242' auto deletes unused media on SD Card when running SignControl Advanced (The current website). Version '_241' fixes a bug for SignControl so that "Wipe SD Clean" now clears the media cache to reduce unnecessary downloading when pushing "Play" after wiping SD Card clean. Version '_240' fixes a Sunday crashing bug for advanced presentations scheduling system. It also removes some bugs in the incremental video downloads process. Version '_229' enables using the new advanced signcontrol website. This is the current website that you go to when you click Login on the home page of signcontrol.net. For legacy signcontrol, there is a link to that at the bottom of the home page. Legacy signcontrol is still working, but is deprecated, and you are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version. However, some older products of Vodality cannot be upgraded to use the new advanced signcontrol, so for those products, you may use legacy signcontrol, which will continue to work just as before. Both versions of signcontrol use the same login authentication. Version '_211' enables empty network passwords so that you may connect to open networks that require no passwords. Previously, a password was required to make a connection. Version '_208' introduces incremental downloading of videos, which allows very large videos to be downloaded. While videos are being downloaded, each video's percentage of progress is displayed on the device. Version '_191' features a new menu system above the previous menu system to make it easier to understand, along with a few bug fixes and optimizations. Version '_183' fixes bug where menu could be up while presentation was playing if menu button was pushed right after booting up. This bug is fixed. Version '_179' adds the ability to use dark scheduling on your digital signs from signcontrol.net settings. In addition to being able to fine tune exactly when your signs go dark and come back on, you can also awake them from darkness (this is a reboot) from the cloud through your signcontrol.net account by changing the dark schedule and resaving it. This works because, if WiFi internet access is available, the digital signs will continute to poll the server every two minutes, refreshing its downloaded dark schedule. Version '_156' includes the ability to scan for all wifi networks. This feature is in the WLAN menu page and requires the LAN to be set to Disable (in the LAN menu page) and the WLAN to be set to Enable (in the WLAN menu page). In WLAN, click "List Networks", and within seconds a select box will be populated with all scanned networks, allowing you to select one without typing in the SSID. |
