cover forward, rotating it forward 180
degrees once it has cleared away from
the three level potentiometers. Be very
careful not to kink or damage the small
ribbon interconnecting cable.
3. Locate the USB connector on the main
circuit board. It’s near the front of the
unit, directly between rotary control A and
rotary control B. Insert the prepared USB
flash drive into the connector.
4. Apply power to the Model 207 by con-
necting to a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Ethernet source.
5. After a few seconds the Model 207 will
run a “boot loader” program that will
automatically load the new application
firmware file ( m207.bin ). During this time
period an LED, located adjacent to the
USB connector, will slowly flash green.
Once the loading process is over, taking
approximately 10 seconds, the Model
207 will restart using the newly loaded
application firmware.
6. At this time the Model 207 is function-
ing with the newly loaded application
firmware and the USB flash drive can be
removed. But to be conservative, remove
PoE power first and then remove the
USB flash drive.
7. Confirm that the desired firmware version
has been correctly loaded. This can be
done by pressing and holding the talk-
back button, applying power to the Model
207, and then “reading” the application
firmware version number by first observ-
ing the main button’s green LED and
then observing the talkback button’s red
LED. Alternately, the STcontroller soft-
ware application can be used to identify
the application firmware version number.
Whatever method you use, ensure that
the desired version is present.
8. Once the update process has been com-
pleted reverse the steps and re-attached
the cover using the six machine screws.
Note that if a connected USB flash drive
doesn’t have the correct file ( m207.bin ) in
its root folder no harm will occur if power is
applied to the Model 207. Upon power up
the LED adjacent to the USB connector will
flash on and off rapidly for a few seconds
to indicate this condition and then normal
operation using the unit’s existing application
firmware will begin.
Ultimo Firmware Update
As previously discussed in this guide,
the Model 207 implements Dante con-
nectivity using the 4-input/4-output Ultimo
integrated circuit from Audinate. The Dante
Controller software application can be used
to determine the version of the firmware
(embedded software) that resides in Ultimo.
The STcontroller software application can
also be used to identify the firmware version.
(Use the Version selection under the Device
tab.) The Dante Firmware Update Manager
(FUM) application program has traditionally
been used to install the Ultimo firmware. The
Dante Controller software application also
includes an automated method of updating
Ultimo firmware. Both applications are avail-
able, free of charge, on the Audinate website
(audinate.com).
Restoring Factory Defaults
A command in the STcontroller software
application allows the Model 207’s defaults
to be reset to the factory values. From
STcontroller select the Model 207 for which
you want to restore its defaults. Select the
Device tab and then select the Factory
Defaults feature. Then click on the OK box.
Refer to Appendix A for a list of the Model
207’s factory default values.
