Updates

Updates are a critical part of maintaining the Technical Infrastructure at PureFM. They should be applied frequently, the definition of this is up to the Technical Director. At a minimum, they should be applied during every Consolidation week, major holiday and at the start of each academic year.

DO NOT procede with any of these updates if you have not been trained to complete them. This is arguably the most dangerous activity performed on PureNet and needs to be protected as such.

This guide will involve shutting down all components of the PureFM network. You will need a laptop (or non-AD Joined) PC connected to the network to work from.

Order to Update

There is a precise art to doing the order of the Updates. This is listed below:

  1. In the Server Rack - on the TX Mixer and Mute the Studio 1 feed (all channels should now be muted)
  2. On Claraamfo
    • Stop BUTT from streaming
    • Close Elisa
  3. Unplug the PS Send (PS.S) Ethernet from the Patch Panel in the rack to prevent it from streaming
  4. Listen to the stream to confirm that the Emergency Tape is playing. The Emergency Tape should begin whenever you refresh the page.
  5. In Studio 1 - stop PlayIt Live playing on PURE-S1-01 then shut that PC down. Then shut down PURE-S1-02 and PURE-S2-01.
