I-Con Software updating Instructions
 
What you will need:

1. A PC running Windows 95

2. A copy of Winzip. This can be downloaded from the internet at http://www.winzip.com

3. An available COM port on your PC. Note that most PC's (except laptops with a built-in mouse) use COM1 for connection to the mouse. If the mouse is using the only available COM 
port, the mouse will have to be disconnected and the TAB/cursor keys used for navigation 
around icons on the Windows desktop.

4. An RS232 cable. This should be a 9-way Male (ICON end) to 9 or 25-way Female (PC end) pin-to-pin RS-232 cable. Do not use a Null Modem cable. We recommend a cable no longer than 3 metres for reliable operation.

 
Download and installation procedure (if you received this software on a floppy disk or via email from A&H, the zip file is included so that downloading is not necessary):

1. Download the software from the Internet by clicking on the 'Download' link at the top of 
this page. Choose a convenient directory on your PC to place this in.

2. The file that you have downloaded is a 'zip' file (called DL1Vx_xx.zip) containing three
discrete files bundled (or 'zipped')together. Unzip them by first double-clicking on this zip file in Windows Explorer. The Winzip program should run.

3. You will now see the four files in the Winzip window (Vx_xx.bin, xxxx.pdf, dl1000com1.ht and dl1000com2.ht). Drag each of these onto the Windows desktop in turn.

 
Upload instructions

1. Switch the I-CON mixer power off.

2. Select 'RS232' on the ICON mixer connector panel using the white miniature switch.

3. Connect the chosen PC COM port to the ICON RS232 socket.

4. If you are using COM1 to connect to your ICON, then select the file dl1000com1.ht on your desktop. This is done by double-clicking the icon on your desktop, if you are using a mouse. Alternatively, press TAB and use the cursor keys until it is selected and then press ENTER if you do not have a mouse. If you are connected to the ICON using COM2, run the file dl1000com2.ht using the same procedure.

5. The hyperterminal program should now be open. Select the 'Transfer' menu (without a mouse this is done by selecting Alt-T) and click on 'Send File'.

6. In the dialogue box, click on the 'Browse' button (using the mouse or 'TAB' and 'ENTER') 
and locate/select the file Vx_xx.bin. In most cases this will be c:\windows\desktop\Vx_xx.bin

7. Click on the 'SEND' button.

8. Turn the ICON mixer back on. The file transfer will now start, with a dialogue box 
informing you of the progress. Progress is also indicated on the ICON's LCD display. 
The software should take up to 3 minutes to upload.

9. When the transfer is complete the ICON boots automatically and you can use the new software without having to re-power the console.

10. Ensure that the switch on the connector panel is put back to the MIDI position for normal operation.
