Updating the firmware

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service.

The Firmware Loader must be installed on your computer to perform this operation. Extron recommends that you install this program when you install the Matrix Switchers Control Program. If you did not, it can be downloaded from the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and installed separately.

Update the switcher firmware as follows:

1. Visit the Extron web site, www.extron.com, click the Download Center tab, and then click the Firmware link (figure 5-6). Select the appropriate firmware file to download and copy it to your computer. Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.

Figure 5-6 — Location of firmware upgrade files

2.	In the Windows Explorer or other file browser, double-click the downloaded
	executable (*.exe) file) to self-extract the firmware file.
3.	Connect a Windows-based computer to either switcher serial port or the
	switcher LAN port. See chapter 2, “Installation”, for more details.
4.	Start the Matrix Switchers Control Program. See “Using the software” in this
	chapter, steps 1 through 3, starting on page 5-3.
