Software update

Keep your Octalarm alarm dialler up to date with the latest software version to ensure maximum safety and reliability. The latest version provides you with new features, improvements, and security updates.

Note: Always ensure your dialler runs the latest software version.

You can check the software version via Settings | Software update. Under Version history, you can view the changes for each version. For a complete overview of all functions per software version, see the Firmware version overview.

Note: The dialler must be connected to the internet to check or update the software.

Checking the software version

To manually check for available updates:

• Open Settings | Software update;
• Press Update. After a few seconds, the dialler will indicate whether it is up to date.

Perform a software update

The alarm dialler automatically downloads new software and displays a notification when the download is complete.

• Open Settings | Software update;
• Press Update to start the update process (this takes approximately 20 seconds);
• The dialler restarts automatically after the update.

The system records firmware updates in the logbook with the message firmware updated from ... to ..., as well as in the version history.

Tip: After each update, test whether the dialler works correctly. See Contacts | Add and edit: Run test call for instructions.
