Backup Precautions

Tip

The complex process has been broken down into smaller procedures or steps. To avoid complications, be sure to perform these steps in order. Click the table links above to navigate back and forth between steps.

Important

As this firmware installation requires use of an ISO file, all current configuration and local files will be deleted.

Consequently, before installing the firmware, make sure that:

  • You exported the configuration.
  • You saved the IP settings.

Additionally, you might want to save screenshots of various settings:

  • IP inputs
  • Encoder profiles
  • FTP settings
  • Physical outputs
  • Streaming outputs…

Use the following as a checklist and click each tab to display instructions as needed:

Exporting the Configuration

The procedure varies slightly depending upon your current firmware version. Make a selection from the following tabs based upon your firmware version.

Prior Migration from a 3.x to a 4.x Firmware Version

To export the StreamHub configuration (application settings):

  1. In the menu bar, click on admin.

  2. Click on Export Config button. The StreamHub configuration is saved as a .awj file.

From 4.x Firmware Version

To export the StreamHub configuration:

  3. Click on the Export Config button. The StreamHub configuration is saved as a .awj file.

Saving IP Settings

To save IP settings to the server, you can:

  • On-Premise: Connect a VGA monitor and a USB keyboard directly to the server.

  • Remote: Connect a computer to the server using the Ethernet port 2 and a secure shell (ssh) session. 

On-Premise: Via a Monitor and Keyboard Attached to the Server

To save the IP settings using a monitor and keyboard:

  1. Plug a VGA display monitor to the server.

  2. Plug a keyboard to an USB interface on the server.

  3. Power on the server. 

  4. When prompted, follow the directions to log in to the server. The default credentials depend upon your firmware version:

To save the IP settings using an Ethernet port on the Computer:

  1. Plug the computer to the server on the Ethernet Port 2. 

  2. On your computer, open the

    panel and select the Ethernet Settings menu.

  3. Enter the following static IP Address: 192.168.10.200

  4. Open an ssh client application on the computer or a terminal window and enter the following information:

    • Port: 5322

    • Connection type (or service): ssh

  5. When prompted, follow the directions to log in to the server. The default credentials depend upon your firmware version:
