Updating the RMC-1 Firmware
The firmware update is installed from a standard USB flash drive. The update consists of a single
file, which may be downloaded and written to a USB drive, or may be provided on a pre-recorded
flash drive.
Note: If you download the firmware update file, it can be written to most standard USB drives.
The USB drive you use should be at least 500 mB in size, and should be formatted using
a standard FAT32 format; avoid multiple partitions or drives with permanently installed
management software, and place the file in the main folder on the drive. Either a USB drive
formatted on a Windows computer or a pre-formatted USB drive should work, and the file may
be downloaded using either a Windows or Apple computer, but USB drives formatted on Apple
computers using the default settings may not work.
Note: ALWAYS erase any previous RMC-1 update files from the USB drive before copying new
ones to it - having multiple different firmware update files in the main folder of the same drive
may result in unpredictable behavior.
Note: It is perfectly acceptable to use the same USB drive for a firmware update file and a
configuration backup.
To update the RMC-1 firmware:
• If necessary, copy the RMC-1 firmware update file onto a standard FAT32 formatted USB flash
drive. See the above Notes for details.
• Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the front or back of the RMC-1.
• Press the Menu button.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Setup; press the Right button to enter the Setup menu.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Advanced; press the Right button to enter the Advanced
Setup menu.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Firmware Update; press the Right button to enter the
confirmation screen.
• Use the Up button to confirm your choice; the confirmation box will change to "X".
• Use the Left button to confirm the update.
• During the update process the screen will display the names of the various firmware modules
being updated; for some modules, you will see a progress bar while the update is completed.
The entire update process will take approximately five to seven minutes.
• When the update process is complete, the RMC-1 will switch into Standby mode.
WARNING! DO NOT REMOVE THE USB STICK OR POWER YOUR RMC-1 OFF BEFORE IT SWITCHES
INTO STANDBY AT THE END OF THE UPDATE PROCESS. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
FIRMWARE CORRUPTION WHICH MAY REQUIRE FACTORY SERVICE TO CORRECT.
• Remove the USB drive containing the firmware update.
Note: Unless otherwise instructed, you do NOT have to reset your RMC-1 to factory
defaults after updating the firmware. The update process itself will NOT erase your current
configuration settings.
