Updating Smart Remote Firmware
It may be necessary to update a Smart Remote’s firmware in order to add
features or address one of those pesky glitches that only seem to appear after
the product’s been released.
Remotes with the following firmware versions can be upgraded as new
firmware becomes available:
Remote With Firmware Version
SR 2 2.0 and higher
SR 3 4.0 and higher
SR 4 1.0 and higher
Older remotes may not be updateable, or updateable only by Rane. Contact
Rane Tech Support 425-355-6000 or email us from www.rane.com for more
information.
Firmware files for all remotes are installed as part of Drag Net and are
located in the Program Files\Rane Corporation\Drag Net\Firmware\Smart
Remotes directory.
To update firmware in a Smart Remote:
1. Ensure remotes are properly connected to the RPM device. Remotes must
be connected before powering the RPM on.
2. Connect directly to the RPM device, using an Ethernet crossover cable.
3. Poll to find the Live device. Remotes are listed beneath the RPM device in
the Project window.
4. Select the Remote to be updated.
5. Launch the Update Device Firmware Wizard (Tools > Update Device
Firmware).
6. Follow the wizard’s on-screen instructions to complete the operation. The
device automatically resets itself once the update is complete.
Firmware updates performed using a COM Port (Serial) follow the exact
same steps, beginning with Step 3.
