User Manual “Streaming Client“ - V1.31 - 8. Jan. 2007
4 Updating the Firmware
Barix preloads all Exstreamer family devices with the
“standard firmware” version, which suites most home
and consumer applications.
Barix recommends the use of the “Serial Rescue” method
when changing from “Standard” to “Streaming Client”
firmware.
For the alternative method “Web Update” the
“Web server port” has to be set to “0” or “80” to work
properly (0 will set the default port “80”).
If the web update is interrupted during the process
(power or network loss) the device might become
unreachable. In that case the “Serial Rescue” procedure is
the only remedy. Please keep that in mind when planning
a remote update.
