# Finding the Omnia-6 Remote Software App and Software Update

## Scope

This document describes where to find the Omnia-6 remote control software app, software update files/ instructions, and additional information needed to update the Omnia-6.

## Description

The Omnia-6 is a Legacy product (discontinued); however, remote control and update files are located on the Omnia Legacy Product Page. You may also need to order a rear panel PCMCIA software card for the update. The current software for Omnia-6 is Release: 7.3.4 / Display: FP7.2.5 or FP7.2.6cf (depending on the hardware revision of the front panel board). You can check these from the front panel in the System / About menu.

## So Where Is It? And What Do I Need?

You can find the .zip file containing the remote control software app (the .exe file), software update files, and instructions [here](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/omnia-6-update-2.zip?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T11%3A14%3A47Z&se=2026-11-12T12%3A14%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=n7oxYRGKrMoy1pJAq%2F5dyyabHMJpsbbtD2%2FKa5Arujw%3D).

After you download it, unzip it to a convenient folder on your PC.

You will find the remote control app (.exe) file, a .pdf with full step-by-step update instructions and 2 front panel (.upd) update files.

There are two CPU's in the Omnia-6, one for the front panel (this is the "Display" version as shown in System / About from the front panel) and one on the motherboard (this is the "Release" version as shown in System / About from the front panel) One of the .upd files is used to update the front panel software but the motherboard software is stored on the rear-panel PCMCIA software card, so a new card is required to update the motherboard. Please [contact support](https://www.telosalliance.com/support-request) or your local Omnia dealer to order. **Be sure to specify if the small sticker on your existing card says "EXi" or not (EX, FM or HDFM) and the version number shown there.**

> [!CAUTION]
> Please wait until you have the PCMCIA card in hand before updating the front panel software because a mismatch can cause issues.

Once you have the updated PCMCIA card, follow the instructions in the .pdf exactly. **If the wrong front panel .upd file is used, the front panel board will brick and have to come in for repair.** Click [here](/v1/docs/how-to-avoid-bricking-the-omnia-6-front-panel-board) for more details.

## Remote Control App Installation

The remote control application does not have an installer. Simply place the .exe file in a convenient folder (it will make a connection database file in the same folder when run for the first time) and run the .exe file. I would suggest right-clicking to add a desktop icon.
