Model 5204
Dual Line Input to Dante Interface
There are no LEDs or performance indica-
tors or configuration settings associated 
with the dedicated charging port. It’s really 
just a “plug-in and go” feature.
Technical Notes
Ultimo Firmware Update
The Model 5204 implements Dante con-
nectivity using the Ultimo integrated circuit 
from Audinate. This 2-input/2-output de-
vice can be updated by way of the Model 
5204’s Ethernet connection. As of the date 
of writing this guide it’s not evident as to 
whether or not newer firmware will ever 
need to be loaded.
Identifying the Firmware 
Version Number
As previously discussed in this guide, 
upon power up the meter LEDs are used 
to briefly display the version number of 
the Model 5204’s firmware (embedded 
software). This information is typically only 
necessary when working with the fac-
tory on support issues. The meter LEDs 
will first go through a display sequence 
followed by an approximately 1-second 
period where the version number will be 
indicated. The top row of seven LEDs will 
display the major version number with a 
range of 1 to 7. The bottom row of seven 
LEDs will display the minor version number 
with a range of 1 to 7. Refer to Figure 2 for 
details.

In this example, the version shown is 1.1.
