Updating The Firmware; Determining The Firmware Version - Extron electronics WindoWall Pro Series User Manual

Determining whether devices are on the same subnet
To determine the subnet, the local device IP address is compared to the remote device IP
address (see figure 51). The octets of each address are compared or not, depending on the
value in the related subnet mask octet.
•
•
If the unmasked octets of the two IP addresses match (indicated by
figure 51), the two addresses are on the same subnet.
If the two unmasked fields do not match (indicated by an unequal sign [≠] in figure 51,
examples 2 and 3), the addresses are not on the same subnet.
Remote IP Address:

Updating the Firmware

Updates to the Extron WindoWall Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processor firmware are made
available periodically via the Extron Website. If the need arises, you can replace the
WindoWall Pro main firmware via an IP connection without opening the unit.

Determining the Firmware Version

There are three ways to check which version of firmware the WindoWall Pro is using:
view the System Status page of the WindoWall Pro embedded web pages, select
WindoWall Pro...
command (to use SIS commands, see the
beginning on page 11).
Using the web pages
The WindoWall Pro comes from the factory with a set of default embedded web pages.
The System Status web page displays the firmware version of your unit, along with other
information such as your WindoWall Pro IP address and part number.
To use the web pages to find out the current firmware version number:
