Firmware Flash - I-novative 2-Port OABR Multi-Media-Switch User Manual

This panel is used to update the firmware of the OABR switch. The firmware will
exclusively delivered by i-novative GmbH as i-nvoative firmware file (.iff). After

values. Please save all configuration settings via the GUI in a file (XML Config) before the
firmware flash.
