Loading the firmware to the SW USB using the
Firmware Loader
To load a new version of firmware from your computer to your
SW USB using the Extron Firmware Loader software, your
computer's serial port must be connected to the switcher's
RS-232 serial port. See "Rear Panel Features," in chapter 2,
"Installation," for information on connecting to the serial port.
1.
If you have not already done so, download and install the
Firmware Loader executable installer file to your computer
(see "Downloading and installing the Firmware Loader,"
earlier in this chapter).
2.
If necessary, download the latest SW USB firmware version
and install it on your computer (see "Downloading and
installing the firmware," on the previous page).
3.
Open the Firmware Loader via your desktop Start menu
by making the following selections: Start > All Programs >
Extron Electronics > Firmware Loader > Firmware Loader
5.
On the first screen that appears, select the RS-232 tab.
6.
From the drop-down menus on the RS-232 screen, select
your model name (SW2 USB, SW4 USB, or SW4 USB Plus),
the appropriate COM port number, and 9600 for the baud
rate.
