8.24 DEVICE FIRMWARE

Firmware is the software which runs inside the device. Most products which are controllable from PodWare have
firmware which can be updated by the user.
Firmware is uniquely identified by two things:
1. The Firmware Model Number. This is not the model number of the product, but a number which uniquely describes
the type of firmware used by the device. When updating firmware, the same firmware model must be used.
2. The Firmware Version Number. This describes the issue of the firmware update within a given model number. When
updating firmware, the latest firmware Version Number for a given firmware Model Number would normally be
selected. Firmware updates are usually supplied in .dfw (Device FirmWare) files. PodWare uses a .dfw file to load new
firmware into a device.
Firmware files are named like this: ****5678V1234.DFW
If you are using the very latest Version of Podware then you will be advised automatically when you go online if your
device requires a firmware update
You can inspect the firmware Model and Version in the Device Properties dialogue.
To update the firmware in a device, see Menus or Device Context Menus.
At the bottom right hand side of the screen a blue bar will show the progress of the firmware update. Do not power down
the unit or disconnect any network cable during a firmware update. During the update a red bar will show the progress
of the firmware update (bottom right of screen). The device will then power cycle automatically. The loudspeaker is now
ready for normal operation.
