Firmware Upgrade

Please follow the steps below to upgrade firmware by the FW port on the front panel:

1. Prepare the latest upgrade file (.bin) and rename it as “FW_MERG.bin” on PC.
2. Power off the switcher, and connect the FW port of the switcher to the PC with a USB cable.
3. Power on the switcher, and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named “BOOTDISK”.
4. Double-click the U-disk, and a file name of “READY.TXT” would be shown.
5. Directly copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
6. Reopen the U-disk to check the filename “READY.TXT” whether automatically becomes “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the firmware was updated successfully, otherwise, if the firmware updating fails, the name of the upgrade file (.bin) should be confirmed again, and then follow the above steps to update again.
7. Remove the USB cable after the firmware upgrade.
8. After the firmware upgrade, the switcher should be restored to factory default by sending the command.
