6 . Navigate to the folder where you saved the firmware upgrade file. Select the
file.

fails for any reason, the switcher reverts to the factory-installed firmware.
7 . Click the Open button. The software advises you that you are about to
reprogram the switcher’s firmware. Click Ok to continue.
A status window, which shows the progress of the
upload, appears. The firmware upload to the
CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher may
take a few minutes.
