— Displays the active firmware version. Compare the

version with the online version on the SMD 101 product page at the Extron website, to
determine if you are running the most current firmware.

Select

a

to

upload:

— This field displays the location of the update

firmware file. Click

Browse

, then locate and select the firmware file.

Upload:

— After the firmware file is selected, click

Upload

to begin the update.

Cancel

stops the update and clears the

Browse

field.

NOTE: Depending on the browser, the firmware upgrade path displayed in the browse

folder field is not the same as the file path. The following list shows how the upgrade
path appears for the recommended browsers uploading a firmware file named

"49‑244‑50‑0.18.0001.eff‑full"

.

Chrome:

C:\fakepath\49‑244‑50‑0.18.0001‑full.eff

Firefox:

49‑244‑50‑0.18.0000‑full.eff

IE:

C:\upgrades\Peanut(SMD)\Build 0.18.0000\49‑244‑50‑0.18.0000‑full.eff

A dialog opens to indicate upload progress. When the upload completes, the device
firmware is updated. After the update, the SMD 101 automatically reboots.

NOTE: Playback stops, and the connection is lost during the reboot, requiring a refresh

of the browser once the reboot is complete.

Configuration panel

A configuration file contains a snapshot (or record) of the relevant settings of the SMD 101.
The settings are divided into two files: box.cfg with general settings, and ip.cfg with the
network configuration. These two files enable multiple SMD 101 devices to be configured
identically (saving setup time), or to backup the current configuration of the SMD 101.
Multiple config files can be saved, then restored in order to customize an SMD 101 for
specific tasks.
To configure multiple devices with a single config file:

1.

Configure the first SMD 101.

2.

Click

Save

to place the configuration file in a location accessible from each SMD 101.

The drop-down list provides two options:

Box

Config

— Select this option to save all settings including channel presets

but excluding network settings from both the

Configuration

and

Advanced

Configuration

pages.

IP

Config

— Select this option to save all network related settings. The file

contains additional reference information such as the device name, date, and time,
but only the network settings are restored.
