When an Iris panel is connected to 4-wire and needing to be upgraded, the easiest process is to use a USB stick and go around to each individual panel. If this isn’t possible, and a network is not available, then the next best step is to do a direct IP connection from you PC to the panel and upgrade using the panels CCM (in built web browser application). Here are the directions on how to make this happen.

  1. Disconnect the Analog/4-wire cable

  2. Connect the IP port of the panel to your PC directly

  3. Power up the panel and get the IP address

    1. Press Local Menu

    2. Press IP Setup

  6. The username password should be

    1. user: admin

    2. pass: Serial Number of your panel (nnllnnnn)

    3. If the serial number doesn’t work, look at the bottom right OLDED display on the Iris Panel. It should show “CC-IRIS-xxxxx” Try entering the values after “CC-IRIS-” for the password.
