Updating your R/2 or R/20 to Triton's Station Manger 5

Updated by Bryan Jones

Scope

This document applies to the Telos Z/IP Stream R/2 and R/20. Specifically, if you are using Triton Digital as the host for your streaming services.

Description

Every Telos Z/IP Stream has the necessary software and services to stream your station with Triton Digital. Triton has recently released Station Manger V5. This document covers the steps required to update to this version.

Prerequisites

ALL Z/IPStream R/2 systems, regardless of age or current version, can be upgraded to r/20. This Upgrade is FREE to all users through October 31, 2024 Or, if your unit is currently under warranty or covered by a TelosCare Plus agreement. However, you MUST request this upgrade from your Telos Dealer. Neither Telos nor Triton Support can fill these requests. Contact your dealer, and they will order this free upgrade for you. =After October of 2024 there will be a charge for this update.

Only proceed if you have been provided with an updated license key. Keys used in the R/2 are incompatible with R/20- Your system will only function with these updated keys

Your new license code will look similar to this. The features included a new license code (shown here in GREEN) and the original code (in Yellow), all listed in this PDF.

A PDF will be provided for each R/2 license code you have. If you have four license numbers, then four PDF files will be provided to you. Make sure you have them all before you start.

If your unit has already been updated to an R/20 version then you already have new codes and can proceed with the steps below.
