How can I update a DS without internet?
Hi,
my play-music-only-environment consists of a Renew DS, Akurate DS, a Windows Home Server with MinimServer, and a wireless tablet pc as control point.

This network has no connection to the internet - and will not get one.

To update Kinsky or Konfig, I log my tablet pc on to another WLAN with an Internet connection. But this way I cannot update the Renew DS.

Is there a way to download the files I need to update the DSs - or is there another way, without connecting my play-music-only-environment to the internet?

Yep - when you're updating Kinsky or Konfig, you can also go here to download the file you need:-

http://products.linn.co.uk/VersionInfo/D.../Releases/

...then simply reconnect the machine to your DS LAN and upgrade from there..

Hi Mick,
I downloaded the file. What do I do with it then?


Is this the correct way?
Quote: Download the version of firmware (zip file) you wish to use from the release download site (only firmware for your device model will work)
Select your device from the list, click on the Configuration tab, and click the 'Reflash' button.
Click 'Select Firmware' and point to the zip file you have downloaded and click 'Reflash'

That is indeed the way. I've not done this for several years but I recall it being very straightforward.
