Step 2 -- Discovering Monarch EDGE and Updating Firmware

After you have connected and powered up your Monarch EDGE, you may need to update the device firmware.
Before you update
• Make sure you have at least 1 GB of free disk space available.
• Use only one instance of the firmware updater on your network at a time.
• Make sure Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.5.x is installed on your system.
• Make sure you have a DHCP-enabled network, and that your server maintains the IP address of a device
when it reappears on the network after a reboot. If not, assign static IP addresses to your devices.
• Make sure the Control Hub version on your computer matches the firmware version of the Monarch EDGE.
• Close any programs that may be running (such as Control Hub).
