Firmware Updates; Using The Update Wizard - Lectrosonics DM1612 Reference Manual

DM Series Digital Matrix Processors

Using the Update Wizard

The control panel can be used to download firmware
updates to the DM1624. The Update Wizard guides you
through the steps of the update process. Since a failed
firmware update can leave the DM1624 in an unusable
state, it is important to follow the instructions in the
Update Wizard exactly.
Firmware updates are distributed as a file whose name
follows the pattern "dm1624-vX_X_X.update", where the
"X_X_X" is a placeholder for a firmware version number.
For example a firmware update for version number
"1.1.12" would have the filename "dm1624-
v1_1_12.update". The dots normally used to separate
the three parts of the version number are replaced with
underscores in the filename for clarity.
Before starting make sure that the proper update file is
on hand. Connect the DM1624 to a PC with a USB
cable. The update process is possible only using a USB
connection. Apply power to the DM1624 and start the
control panel software on the PC.
