firmware from the PC host. Send the update file following the instructions
that came with the Pro64 Update Tool. During the update the sixteen red,
yellow, and green channel meter LEDs will flash in sequence.
When the update has been sent successfully, the module will reset and
normal front panel operation will be restored. If for some reason the update
fails, refer to the error recovery information below for instructions on how to
recover and complete the update.

Error Recovery
In case of a partial firmware download or interruption to the transfer (as
would happen because of a power failure, computer crash, or by pressing
the Cancel button in the middle of a firmware code update), the module can
still be updated but will need to be powered up directly into the firmware
load mode. To do this, hold the VDC Slot decrement (down arrow) button
while powering up the unit. Then send the update file from the computer as
described previously.
If for some reason the software section is damaged on a unit being updated,
it will default to receiving updates over A‑Net. This will allow you to continue
the update procedure.
Firmware Update - via A-Net
To enable a Pro64 module to receive new firmware via A‑Net on an active
network, the PC must be connected to the RS‑232 port on the Control Master.
The network must be in Managed Mode to update firmware via A‑Net. All
network audio will be muted, and front‑panel functions will be disabled on
the module being updated.
To enable firmware updates, a module must be selected from within the
Pro64 Update Tool application, at which point it will be set up to receive new
firmware. Send the update file following the instructions that came with the
Pro64 update software. During the update, the module’s sixteen red, yellow,
