User password
• New password:
The authentication password can be changed be entering in the password twice in the two
fields.
If the password is forgotten, the means to restore access to the xSelector is to perform a factory reset; this
will remove all configuration settings and return the unit to factory-fresh settings:
»
Disconnect all power from the xSelector.
»
Apply power and quickly press and hold the two front panel encoders.
»
xSelector will show a countdown timer for factory reset. When the timer reaches 0, release the two
encoders.
Firmware Version
Axia routinely issues software updates to our equipment in order to fix bugs or add new features, and you will
want to keep your equipment current by regularly updating its firmware.
Axia xSelectors and xNodes have two internal memory “banks”. Each bank contains room for a complete
version of operating software. This approach allows a software update download to be completed and checked
without danger of making the unit inoperable if the download were to be incomplete or corrupted. It also provides
and easy way to try a new software version and still return to the old version.
Switching active software versions of software is done by selecting the radio button next to the desired software
version, and clicking the Apply button.
IMPORTANT! The xSelector will reboot after you click Apply if you change the software version. This will
result in loss of audio locally, and at any unit using the local sources, until the reboot is complete.
Installing New Firmware
If Bank 1 is empty, a new software version can be uploaded to it as follows:
• Visit www.AxiaAudio.com/downloads/ to download the update package to your computer. Save this to any
convenient location.
• From the Firmware Version of the System page, select the Browse button next to the empty Bank 1 to
locate the file. Once the proper file is selected, the path and filename will be displayed in the text field as-
sociated with Bank 1. Click on Apply to upload the file.
• A successful upload will be indicated by the new version being displayed in the Bank 1 field.
• Click the radio button for Bank 1 and click Apply to reboot and make Bank 1 active.
