10. When prompted, confirm that the firmware version displayed in the firmware loader is correct. Click Ok in the Firmware Update prompt window to exit the firmware loader utility.
11. Version 1.xx firmware upload — A status window appears that shows the progress of the download to the switcher. The firmware download may take a few minutes. The status
window advances to 100% and then clears when the download is complete.
The switcher performs an initialization that blinks the front panel LEDs on and off from left to right. A successful initialization leaves the power LED on, (audio/video models only) the on and/or off selection of the Video and Audio LEDs the same as before the download, and all other LEDs off.
Do not interrupt the download before the download status window shows the download is 100% complete. Interrupting the download corrupts the firmware and the switcher will not operate properly afterwards. In this condition, the firmware upload can be accomplished only by using the SIS commands. See “SIS command firmware upload”, on page
Windows buttons, drop boxes, and the trash can
The buttons on the right side of the window perform the following functions:
Power — Unavailable for the MAV switcher, because the switcher power cannot be controlled via software.
Executive mode (front panel security lockout) — Allows you to lock out front panel operations, except for the
Presets drop box — Displays a list of up to 16 presets. You can select a preset from the list to display it in the window and either activate it (Go) or delete it (Delete).
Go — Activates the selected preset as the current configuration.
Save as — Allows the current set of ties to be saved as a preset. Enter the preset number when prompted to do so.
Delete — Allows you to delete a selected preset.
Changes – Take — Allows you to apply any changes made to the displayed configuration.
Changes – Cancel — Returns to the previous screen, undoing any changes you have made.
Trash can — Drag and drop from an input or output button to the trash can to unmake all ties associated with that input or output.
