N When you make an audio output level change, the setting
is changed in the receiver. It reports the changes to the
transmitter via the optional Optical 2 cable.
If you are connected to either of the transmitter's
serial ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected
in your system, the program cannot report the output
audio level in the control program's Audio Adjustment
area. You can change the level, but the program
cannot report the changes. The program shows the Set
Consumer
(or Professional) level message to indicate
that the output level command is control only, not an
indication (figure 4-15). The message is displayed for
approximately 1 second.

Firmware upgrade
Firmware can be upgraded for each unit via either of that unit's
serial ports by calling the Extron Firmware Loader utility from
the Windows-based control program.
N When firmware upgrades are available, they are unique
to the unit; a transmitter firmware upgrade for the Tx
unit and a receiver upgrade for the Rx unit.
You must connect directly to the unit to be updated.
Upload replacement firmware as follows:

Download Center
tab, and then click the Firmware link
