downloading the latest firmware to the PC, then uploading and installing the
new firmware from the PC to the VSC 900/900D via the scan converter’s RS-232
port. The whole process takes only a few minutes and is very simple.
Downloading the latest firmware to the PC
Go to the Extron website (www.extron.com), select the product category, and
download the latest firmware to your PC.
Uploading the firmware from the PC to the VSC 900/900D
Connect the PC to the VSC 900/900D via the scan converter’s RS-232 port. Start
the control program (see Using the control program in this chapter). Next, select
“Update Firmware” from the Control Program window and follow the
instructions.
Select “Update Firmware File” from the following window. The uploading of the
firmware to the VSC 900/900D will take a few minutes.
The original factory-installed firmware is permanently available on the
VSC 900/900D. If the attempted upload of new firmware fails for any
reason, the VSC 900/900D will automatically revert to the factory-installed
firmware.
