  2. Insert the USB drive into the device and start/reboot it

  3. Then follow the steps from 7 on Installation from server

To check which OS or firmware version is installed on the device:

  • Enter the settings menu (the cog icon on the remote)
  • Navigate to General > System Information
  • Click on Update and wait till the process finishes

  • Insert a USB drive into your device
  • Navigate to Ez Setting > Setting Data Cloning
  • On the first device push Export Setting Data
  • On the other devices push Import Setting Data
