Firmware Loader
The
Firmware Loader page provides a way to upload and install new firmware and to
export configuration settings from the connected SMD 101, or import saved configuration
settings from another SMD 101. Check for firmware updates on the product page at the
Extron website. Download the firmware to a location on the computer connected to the
SMD 101.

Firmware Loader Page
NOTE: During a firmware upgrade, the file temporarily resides in the SMD 101 local
user memory. There must be sufficient space available to accommodate the firmware
file for the update to succeed. For example, a 52 MB firmware upgrade file requires at
least 52 MB of unallocated memory. Prior to an update, check the available internal
memory (see
on page 45). If there is not at least enough to store the
entire firmware file, delete or remove files from the internal memory until there is.
