Firmware Update.

The ASB-2 automatically searches for software
updates whenever it is turned on (providing there is a
connection to the internet). However, there are other
ways of updating the firmware. These are manually
via the internet or via a USB memory stick. Details of
all methods are outlined below.

Automatic Notification of Firmware Update

By default the ASB-2 is set up to inform you a firmware
update is available automatically.
1. After the ASB-2 has gone through the initial boot
up procedure and connected to the network (blue
LED stops flashing), the LED will flash white slowly
(Pattern 1) indicating that an update is available.
2. Press and hold the standby button.
Release the button when the main LED changes
colour. It will then go through various states and
colour changes indicating different stages of the
update process:
Purple (Flashing very fast) - Initialising the update
Purple (Flashing pattern 4) - Uploading to the unit
White (Flashing pattern 4) - Updating the unit.
3. Once the update has been successfully completed,
the ASB-2 will go into standby mode (power LED
is illuminated red).
4. Press the standby button and the ASB-2 will go
through the initial start up procedure described on
page 9.

USB Firmware Update

To update the firmware by USB memory stick the
update firmware needs to be downloaded first.
NOTE: The memory stick must be formatted as
FAT32 and the file that is downloaded saved on to the
root folder of the drive.
NOTE: There are 3 different files within the compressed
file that is downloaded: US, JP and EU. The 'US' file
is for America only, the 'JP' file is for Japan only and
the 'EU' file is for the rest of the world.
1. On your PC/ Mac open the internet browser and
go to www.monitoraudio.com and navigate to
either the ASB-2 page or the Support page.
2. Download and the "unzip" the update file. When it
has been unzipped (decompressed) there will be
3 versions in there. Select the type appropriate for
your region (US, JP, EU).
3. Rename the file to be ASB-2_FW.fw (this is very
important) and save it to the USB stick. When it
has been copied/ saved, safely remove the USB
stick.
4. Remove the power lead from the ASB-2 and insert
the USB stick into the ASB-2.
5. Reconnect the power and turn on the ASB-2. The
LED will flash blue while initialising and will then
illuminate blue, purple, white or green depending
on the mode it was turned off in. The LED will
then flash white slowly (Pattern 1) indicating that
an update is available.
6. Press and hold the standby button until the LED
on the front changes to purple.
7. Release the button and the LED will then go through
various states and colour changes indicating
different stages of the update process:
Purple (Flashing very fast) - Initialising the update
Purple (Flashing pattern 4) - Uploading to the unit
White (Flashing pattern 4) - Updating the unit.
8. Once the update has been successfully completed,
the ASB-2 will go into standby mode (power LED
is illuminated red), remove the USB stick.
9. Press the standby button and the ASB-2 will go
through the initial start up procedure described on
page 9.
