Please remember throught this FAQ I will assume that you know how to UNZIP files. All file which are zipped need to be unzipped before use. Also please remember that it is highly recommended that you FACTORY DEFAULT your unit after upgrading to a new bin file. It is not recommended to load factory bin file if your having issues. Instead just FACTORY DEFAULT or reload same file and Factory Default.

Section 1b Upgrade Via USB
It is very important to understand how the USB function works on ipro2000. Many users complain that the USB function doesn’t work when in reality they do not know how to use it. The file has to be in .hzf format and be on the ROOT of the usb memory stick for example:
E:\up.hzf
The E: is an example and can be any letter your windows assigns to the USB drive. Now the file name has to be up.hzf only if your using the usb stick to upgrade from a factory bin version. If your upgrading from 1.8X to current bin file than bin can be either up.hzf or up_V18x.hzf format.
Summary: File has to be on root drive X:\up.hzf and has to be named either up.hzf or up_V18X.hzf to work.
Next it is very important when you unplug a USB device to insure that you safely remove it. For example if you have a USB hard drive or another USB memory stick in your ipro2k go to MENU->STB SETUP->USB SETUP-> Remove USB device Safely
By doing this you insure not to have any problems when you connect another device.
IMPORTANT!!! When removing MEMORY STICK or USB HARD DRIVE DO NOT just unplug. CLICK USB button to remove safely. Also you can access the same screen by going to MENU->STB Setup->remove usb device safely. If you do not do this step than its possible for you to damage your usb device and also its possible that when you reinput a new device it is not detected properly.
Now your ready to upgrade via USB memory stick. Insert the device into the USB port. You will see a prompt asking you if you would like to upgrade. Click OK. On the next screen you will see another screen showing you the current version of your bin file and the one on the USB stick. Click OK again to continue with the upgrade. Your done.
Please remember that if you upgrading from a version to same version or lower version that NO PROMPT will be displayed. You will have to go to menu->installation->Upgrade by USB to upgrade to a lower version or to same version. The only time you will see a prompt is if your upgrading from a lower version to a higher version.
Remember to FACTORY DEFAULT your unit by going to MENU->Installation->Factory Default.
Your done
Section 1c Upgrade via Network
This is the easiest of all methods to use for upgrading. In this section I will cover not only the upgrading but also troubleshooting networking issues.
Go to menu->installation->Upgrade By network. You have 2 options either the RED button or Blue button. The red button checks for updates to see whats available. Click it and you will see the files which is hosted on the site and its version/description. If you would like to download it click the BLUE button and the download will start.
Remember to FACTORY DEFAULT your unit by going to MENU->Installation->Factory Default.
Your done
Section 2a Troubleshooting network connections IKS
Many times users state that there network connection is not working. Usually this is due to the fact they they unplug the Ethernet cable and than replugged it into the ipro and expect it work immediately. Just like windows when network cable is unplug and the replugged in to the box the ipro2k needs to get new IP address from your router than connect to our server. The easiest way to do this is to power off/on the ipro2k from the switch on the back.
You do not need to power off/on the unit if you would like to take a few extra steps. First off click the F4 button located in the hidden compartment of the remote. This will bring up the IKS panel. The status should state “login, ready for channel change” If you see any other status than click the Green button to disconnect than red button to reconnect to server. If you unit does not reconnect after 2 or 3 try’s than you have a problem with your local network.
Section 2b Troubleshooting local network connection
Go to menu->Stb setup->Network Setup
To check to see weather DHCP is working properly first change the type to STATIC, Click the RED button “apply” now change type back to DHCP and click Red button “apply” all numbers will turn BLANK and in 10 to 20 seconds the numbers should fill back in with correct DHCP information from your router. IF they number didn’t fill in after 20 seconds there is an issue with your router or your network cable.
How to setup IP information statically?
Using your computer with XP. Start up network connections (in control panel) In here you will see your current active network connections (you might have more than 1) double click one the active one which your computer is using. You will see Local are connection status screen. Click on support tab. Click on Details TAB. In this screen you will see all the ip information for you pc. Now using the information you see in this screen type the information into the ipro2k. Remember that the IP address can not be same as your computer so change the ip by adding 10 to it. For example if yoru computers ip is 192.168.1.101 than the ipros will be 192.168.1.111. All other fields (subnet, gateway, dns) will be same numbers on ipro2k as in your computer.
Section 2c…………Wireless Network Setup
cheapest setup i found so far
PC Direct - Buy Computer Parts and Systems, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Electronics and More This is a wireless over RF works pretty good i think for most people and is cost effective. I suggest this option for most users. This option does not require for you to have a wireless router since both the emmiter and receiver are included and will work with wired router wirelessly.
here is another one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833162168 This is more costly but also can be used to extend your wireless home network as well as allowing your ipro to function wirelessly. This does require a wireless router as well to work with.
Here is another one
Acortech.com - The Best Notebook computers Resources and Information. This website is for sale! This is pretty cost effective and works over your homes electrical lines to transmit data. Works fine provided your homes electrical wiring is not very outdated (grounded properly). Might cause some conflicts though so id suggest one of the 2 options above unless your confident about your home electrical wiring. This option does not require a wireless router.
