2GIG GC2: Updating Using the Easy Updater Tool

Описание: In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid shows you how to update the firmware on a 2GIG Go!Control GC2 System by using the 2GIG Easy Updater Tool. The 2GIG GC2 is one of the oldest wireless touchscreen alarm panels, and it helped pioneer the way for other wireless all-in-one alarm systems.

Ideally, the easiest was to upgrade the firmware on a 2GIG GC2 is to install a compatible LTE cellular communicator, activate the system for alarm monitoring, and then push down a firmware update from Alarm.com. Unfortunately, it is almost never that easy. With the GC2 being an older system by this point, many users come across old or used GC2 Systems that are not on a high enough firmware to support an LTE communicator for activation and monitoring. This means that the system cannot be set up with Alarm.com, and no firmware update can be sent down over-the-air (OTA).

If you cannot get a GC2 set up with Alarm.com for an OTA update, then you must instead update the system locally. This can be done using the 2GIG Easy Updater Tool or the 2GIG Updater Cable. Of these two options, using the Easy Updater Tool is much more practical. The process consists of connecting the Updater Tool to the panel and then applying the update at the panel.

When you connect the Updater Tool to the GC2 Panel and apply the update, whatever firmware version is on the updater tool will be applied to the system. With that in mind, it is likely that you will need to update the Updater Tool so that it carries the latest GC2 Firmware Version. In order to update the Updater Tool, you must connect it to a Windows Computer or another type of computer running virtual Windows software. You can then apply the latest firmware version by downloading it and saving it to the Updater Tool.
