REDNET R1 OPERATION
First Use and Firmware Updates
Your RedNet R1 may require a firmware update* when it is first installed and switched on. Firmware
updates are initiated and handled automatically by the RedNet Control application.
*It is important that the firmware update procedure is not interrupted – either by switching off power to the
RedNet R1 or the computer on which RedNet Control is running, or by disconnecting either from the network.
From time to time Focusrite will release firmware updates within new versions of RedNet Control.
We recommend keeping all units up to date with the latest firmware version supplied with each new
version of RedNet Control.
The RedNet Control application will automatically inform the user if there is a firmware update available.
