Firmware Update
The file to update the
D*AP8
comes in
ZIP
format. You must unpack it to your PC's hard drive.
It contains also the manual a quick start guide the version history and a folder with the firmware for the
X*AP
remote panel. The folder /base_unit_image contains the so called "image" file for the
D*AP8
. Here
an example: "rel_dap8_mei_1_2_3-34186.img". It is a bundle that brings the latest firmware versions for all
interfaces and Dolby modules with it.
To update the
D*AP8
, you must
<Browse …>
to find the respective firmware file (which you have
unzipped before) and press
<start update>
. If you do not want to upload all individual module firmware
files for any reason, you may take the "rel_dap8_mei_4_3_4-basic-34186.img" file.
After finishing the update the device will automatically reboot.
Important Note!
After the update of the latest firmware image you must observe the
Status
messages
displayed in the middle below the firmware version of Interfaces x or modules in Slot A / B. If it indicates
that you don't have the latest firmware installed you should select the respective file(s) via the drop down
box and press the
<start update>
soft button afterwards. But you can also upload an external file in case
you need a specialized version for any reason that is not contained in the uploaded firmware image. Same
applies to all interface boards and the Dolby OEM boards. See Interface 1 below as an example.
You must secure the power connection during the update procedure. Especially if you have turned on
automatic update of option boards. There is a potential risk to crash the
Dante
board firmware when you
lose power during the module update (see interface description how to recover).
