Firmware Updates
The internal firmware of the Reference Monitors can be updated to take advantage of
newly added features. It is recommended that this be done using the Sonifex SCi remote
control package, but it may also be done using the command protocol provided and the
“Send Text File” (or similar) facility in text-based terminal programs such as Hyperterminal.
When prompted for a filename, locate and select the .DWN file provided with the
firmware update.
