installed automatically when you install Dante Controller.
The application is linked to an online database containing firmware
update files for products from multiple manufacturers. When the
application is connected to a Dante network, it scans the network and
identifies the firmware versions for each discovered Dante device.
If newer firmware for any device is available in the online database,
you can update the device using the online file, or download the
firmware file to your local machine for offline use. If firmware is found
for multiple devices in your network, you can choose to update all
devices simultaneously. You can always easily control which devices
get updated
