2.2. Concept
The PORT Technology software in the field is not updated every time a new software version is released.
The update folder on the FTP server includes the following components:
Component Descripton
PORT Technology Software Software for programming station, main station PCs
1. Download of software
2. Update of database (optional)
3. Update of PORT Technology software
4. Update of LON components
5. Update of visitor control and touch terminal (optional)
6. Update of drivers (optional).
Unzip the received software package. To extract the files, either use the windows extractor (right-click on the file, "Extract here") or an
application such as "WinZip", "WinACE" or similar.
Double-click SIDUpdater.exe.
Click Update.
The updater will backup the most important files (database, configuration), terminate the Core software and do the update.
When the SIDUpdater has completed the tasks, green checkmarks are displayed with each task.
PORT 1.X
PORT 4.X
PTG1 (PORT Technology Gateway 1)
PTG2 (PORT Technology Gateway 2)
PDI (PORT Destination Indicator)
LON Devices (ZLine, ANN, IO, DI, PDC).
Search using IRON Diagnostic will find all devices comminicating on the configured network on the current PCs (UDP, LON, etc.).
Search on local network will find all "smart" devices connected to the network regardless of the driver installed (DUP, TCP, etc.).
To update LON devices such as ZLine, DI, ANN, etc., use Search using IRON Diagnostic.
To update and commission unconfigured devices such as PORT, PTDB, VCL, etc., use Search on local network.
Tip
If the UDP or IP of a device is not known, the device can be found with this option, as long as the device is connected and
powered.
Left Pane
Column Description
State Software status of the device (see below for more information)
Right Pane
The details displayed in the right pane are for information only (normally not used in the field).
Tab Description
Software Details of all software packages within the device system (old version and "to install" version)
Details
Configure Visual configuration preferred to configure device (see corresponding device document for further information). Also see
Device section Incorrect IP Configuration.
Each device has several different packages inside the software which makes it easier to update only parts and not the entire software itself.
uptodate (green)
The software version on the device is identical with the current PORT Technology software provided.
upgrade (turquoise)
downgrade (pink)
At least one software package is newer than the current PORT Technology software provided.
Either update the PORT Technology software or downgrade the software on the device.
The preceeding number indicates the number of software packages to be downgraded.
remove (grey)
Riser by riser (PORT), so that one PORT on the floor is still available.
Even/odd elevators (PTG), so that half of the elevators are still in service.
Main/secondary PDI, so that one PDI in the car is still available to display the destinations.
During the update, these devices might not be available for operation.
If a LON device is applicationless or has wrong/different software installed, the LON device will not be visible with the update tool.
In this case, use the LON Download tool to upload the firmware accordingly. For details on the LON download tool, see PTE - LON
Devices.

During the update, these devices might not be available for operation.
The device has a wrong IP setting, which can cause serious problems for the installation.
Select the Device Details tab and check the IP setting of the device.
To change the IP setting immediately, select the Configure Device tab and correct the setting.
The error message indicates the PC on which this update tool is running. This update tool can be closed.
Only run one update tool at a time. Otherwise, one update tool might update and the other update tool might downgrade (if it has
older software).
