4.3 Updating software in Gateway, ISOBUS/E-Control

Important

iOS 16 or a newer version is required in order to use E-Control.

Important

The application is common to all machine models. The search provides updates for all machine models to which E-Control has been connected. During the installation phase, Gateway detects which update is relevant for that particular device.

Important

Make sure to download the latest version of the instruction book when updating the software.

Software is updated by first downloading the new software to your iPad from the Internet. When the iPad then connects to the local network from Gateway, you are asked whether the new software should be installed.

  1. Connect the iPad to a wireless network with Internet connection. Please note that the network which Gateway transmits is NOT connected to the Internet.

    Note

    If the network is not shown immediately, wait for a minute or so while the iPad searches for networks.

  2. Go to the iPad dashboard and press the icon.

  3. Select “Search for updates” when prompted.
