Software Update
Software Update Using LumLoader Application
Introduction
The LumLoader application allows you to update the software in a Bad Boy Luminaire. The update
will be sent over an Ethernet connection. The luminaire can take the Ethernet input directly, or the
update can be translated to DMX512 signal with an appropriate device, either Series 400™ or a
Virtuoso® Node (with the required software update). The fixtures can be daisy-chained.
Supported configurations:
Note:
There should be no active control (DMX512 or Art-Net) during the update process.
Preparation - Java
The loader (LumLoader) is a Java application which can be run on a Mac or a PC computer.
Note:
For Microsoft Windows users: Windows does not come with the required Java run-time library
installed, so you may need to go to the Sun website (java.com/getjava/) to download Java.
Selecting an Ethernet Interface
Connect the computer to the system, and start the LumLoader application. When the application starts,
it will ask which active Ethernet port should be used. Select the appropriate port. You may be able to
differentiate the ports by IP address, compared with your network setup. Typically the en0 is the first
built-in Ethernet port, and other interfaces could include additional network ports or wireless adapters.
Selecting the Module
The loader can support multiple versions of software, so make sure the appropriate version is selected.
The default version will typically be fine.
