Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual page 165

Version 26 of the microphone firmware is required for operation with SoundStructure devices. Microphones
that are plugged directly into the right CLink2 port on a SoundStructure device (assuming SoundStructure
firmware version 1.1.2 is used) is updated to version 26 if it is necessary to update the microphone arrays.
Once updated, the microphones continue to use version 26 even if they are unplugged or powered down.
Note: Required Microphone Array Version
Version 26 or later of the microphone array is required for operation with the
SoundStructure devices.
The SoundStructure device logs may be viewed to show the number and version of microphones
connected. An example of the log is shown in the next figure. The first entry is shown when devices are
plugged into the SoundStructure. In this example the SoundStructure is connected to a Video Codec via its
left Clink2 port and then there are 4 microphones connected to the right Clink2 port as shown in the following
figure.

According to the log all microphones have version 24 firmware installed.
Because microphone arrays may be shipped with a firmware version that may be earlier than version 26,
the firmware should be updated once to revision 26 by connecting the microphones directly to the right
CLink2 port (the port closest to the OBAM interface) on SoundStructure device for 30 seconds.
