Preparation
If the syslog function has not been set yet, we recommend activating the syslog function (see chapter 8.4.7,
page 151) before updating the firmware to log the update in case of update errors.
To be prepared for a firmware update, proceed as follows:
1. Save the matrix configuration locally (see chapter 8.11.2, page 239).
2. If the options settings for the management software have not yet been set:
2.1. Open
Extras > Options
in the menu bar.
2.2. Under
Firmware Directory
insert in the directory from which the update files should be standardly
sourced.
3. Save the update files in the
Firmware Directory
.
