steps 1 through 6 and then return to this section).

3. Access the MTPX Plus switcher using HTML pages.
4. Click the Configuration tab.
5. Click the Firmware Upgrade link.
6. Click the Browse button. An open file window appears.

CAUTION: The firmware file must have an .s19 extension. Other file types can cause
the switcher to stop functioning.
NOTES: • When downloaded from the Extron website, the firmware is placed in a
subfolder of C:\Program Files\Extron\Firmware .
• The original factory-installed firmware is permanently available on the
matrix switcher. If the attempted firmware upload fails for any reason, the
switcher reverts to the factory-installed firmware.
8. Click the Open button.
