Updating Firmware

From time to time, MOTU may provide firmware 
updates for the MOTU AVB Switch to improve 
performance.

To update the firmware in a MOTU AVB Switch:

1

Make sure your computer is on the same 

network as the MOTU AVB Switch.

2

Make sure that your network has access to the 

internet (required).

3

Go to:

https://motu.com/en-us/products/avb/avb-switch/downloads/

4

Download the MOTU Discovery app (macOS 

or Windows).

5

For macOS, unzip 

MOTU Discovery

 and then 

launch the app. For Windows, run 

MOTU 

Discovery.exe 

to launch the app.

6

Click the 

Firmware Updater 

tab. You should 

now see your switch in the list of AVB devices on 
the network (Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1: The MOTU AVB Switch in MOTU Discovery.

7

If your AVB Switch says 

Up to date

 as shown in 

Figure 2-1 for switch B, then the switch has the 
latest firmware installed already.

8

If, however, the note next to the switch says 

Update to x.xx 

as shown in

 

Figure 2-1 for switch A, 

click the blue arrow to update to the latest 
firmware version.

Figure 2-2: After updating the firmware, the switch reboots and re-
acquires an IP address from your network’s DHCP server.

9

When you see the message 

Update Successful!

the firmware update is complete.
