SOFTWARE/LANGUAGE FILE UPLOAD  
The RJ-45 data port of the dome drive allows access for on-site setup, testing, and uploading of  
revised operating software and language files. A Pelco field service tool is required to perform  
these operations. Field service tools include Pelco’s remote monitor kit (IPS-RMK), remote data  
port box (IPS-RDPE-2), and remote monitor cable (IPS-CABLE).  
For instructions on how to upload revised operating software and language files refer to the  
Installation/Operation manual supplied with the field service tool.  
NOTE: Only perform software uploads when necessary. Software uploads do not need to be  
performed if the dome system is operating properly.  
UPLOAD ICON  
During a software/language file upload, an icon will appear on the monitor to indicate data is  
being transferred to the Spectra dome system (refer to the figure below). The default setting for  
data transmission is 115.2 KB per second. Noisy and long-run connections will slow the  
transmission rate.
