3.5.2
In order to update your switch matrix firmware,
you must have a switch
matrix unit with firmware revision B3 or later and a Windows computer with Mini-Circuits’
Switch Controller software installed.
A power interrupt, to either the computer or the switch matrix while the firmware is being
updated may cause the firmware to be corrupted. It is therefore recommended to only
update the firmware while both the switch matrix and the computer are connected to an
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).
CAUTION
3.5.3
Click on the ‘(fw)’ indicator,
this will cause the firmware - info window to open
(See
Fig. 3.3.3
). The ‘Firmware’ listed is the version of the firmware installed in your switch
matrix. Click on “Update Firmware” to select a new firmware version to install or click ‘Exit’ to
close the firmware – info window.
