Updating the Firmware

Extron periodically updates product firmware in conjunction with the release of new software revisions. When updating any Extron software to the latest revision level, be sure to read the supplied release notes or contact Extron Technical Support to determine if your Extron product requires a firmware update.

You can find out what version of firmware is currently loaded on your switcher by entering the SIS “Q” command via the RS-232 interface (see “Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands,” earlier in this chapter).

New firmware versions for the SW USB can be downloaded from the Extron Web page. After you install the new firmware on your computer, you can upload it to the switcher using either SIS commands (see the “Command/response table for SIS commands,” earlier in this chapter) or the Firmware Loader software (see “Loading the firmware to the switcher using Firmware Loader,” in the next section).

Downloading and installing the Firmware Loader

Extron recommends using the Firmware Loader software to update the firmware on the SW USB. If you do not already have the Firmware Loader software installed on your computer, download it from the Web as follows:

1. Go to the Extron Web site at www.extron.com and click the Download tab.

2. On the Download Center screen, click the Software link on the left sidebar menu.

3. On the next Download Center screen, locate and click the Download link for the Firmware Loader.

4. On the next screen, enter the requested information, then click the Download fw_loader3x4xn.exe button (where n is the Firmware Loader version number).

5. Follow the instructions on the rest of the download screens to save the executable Firmware Loader installer file to the computer. Note the folder to which you saved the file.

6. In Windows Explorer or another file browser, locate the downloaded executable installer file, and double-click it to open it.

7. Follow the instructions on the Installation Wizard screens to install the Firmware Loader on your computer. Unless you specify otherwise, the installer program places the Firmware Loader file, “FWLoader.exe” at c:\Program Files\Extron\FWLoader.
