default settings are acceptable for the vast majority of users.
13.2.3. Firmware update
The latest fi rmware for the product is included in the Lake controller installation. It is likely that fi rmware installed on
the new product is older and requires updating.
1. Make sure all frames are powered on and connected through a wired network.
2. Launch the Lake fi rmware update utility LakeUpdate.exe.
3. Select the appropriate product range.
4. If more than one network adapter is enabled, a prompt will appear requiring selection of the adapter connected
to the frames.
5. If prompted, allow the application access through the Firewall.
6. Latest fi rmware is preselected.
7. Discovered frames are listed. Tap Select Old and Update to initiate fi rmware update of all outdated frames.
Frames already up to date will not be selected.
8. Read warning message and tap OK.
9. Wait for all updates to be completed. A wait indication will display on the unit(s) during updating.
(Four corner LEDs will blink yellow in circular pattern.)
10. Follow the on screen instructions. Amplifi ers with fi rmware associated with Lake Controller 6.5.0 or later will
automatically power cycle the mains power, whereas amplifi ers with older fi rmware will display a message
that a manual power cycle is required (Note: A manual power cycle requires the mains plug to be completely
removed, the standby button does not complete the fi rmware update.)
11. If internal updates are needed, these will be performed by the frame after the power cycle.
A wait indication is displayed.
