firmware file, then click Open to upload the firmware into
the MLS.
The firmware update file must have a filename extension
of .s19. If the file does not have that extension, it will
not work properly.

When you recycle power, power off the switcher for at
least four seconds, then restore power.
8. When the firmware uploading is complete, a dialog box
appears and asks you
• to exit the firmware update utility program if the
new firmware loaded correctly (if the correct
firmware version is displayed in the program
window, as shown in the example below)
or
• to run the utility again (Upload Firmware File, see
step 5) if the firmware didn’t load correctly.
Follow the on-screen directions to complete the process.
