Updating the Firmware

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

NOTE: Upgrading the firmware does not overwrite the current configuration or

presets.

Update the switcher firmware as follows:

1.

Perform steps 1 through 5 of

Installing the Software

, on page 72, to download the

firmware upgrade from the Extron website.

2.

Click

Run

in the File Download and Security Warning dialog boxes (see

figure 38

on

the next page). The PC extracts the firmware update received from the Extron website
and starts the Extron Installation Program to extract the firmware file.

3.

Click

Next

in the Firmware Upgrade window. The program extracts the firmware files

and places them in a folder identified in the InstallShield Wizard window.

ATTENTION: The firmware file must have an .s19 extension. Other file types can

cause the switcher to stop functioning.

NOTES:

Note the folder to which the firmware file is saved. When downloaded
from the Extron website, the firmware is placed in a subfolder of:

Windows 7 or Windows 8:

C:

\

Program

Files

(x86)\Extron\Firmware

Older versions:

C:

\

Program

Files\Extron\Firmware

The original factory‑installed firmware is permanently available on the matrix
switcher. If the attempted firmware upload fails, the switcher reverts to the
factory‑installed firmware.

4.

Click

Finish

to exit the program.
