6. FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
Xpeak units are supplied from factory with the latest firmware versions available. However,
firmware versions with new features may be released in the future, making it necessary to
upgrade the equipment to be able to make use of these new functionalities.
Because the upgrading process must be handled with caution, we recommend having it done
by an authorized distributor, or under the instructions of the AEQ Technical Service. If you have
any doubt, please consult AEQ Technical Service (
).
All Xpeak units include a
MICRO
module whose firmware can be upgraded through the
Ethernet interface of the unit, with the aid of a standard web browser. In addition, the
Xpeak_IF
includes an
AoIP
module whose firmware is upgraded by means of the "
DANTE Firmware
Update Manager
" application (consult the AEQ AoIP user's manual).
The procedure for upgrading the
MICRO
module firmware is as follows:
1.
Check the IP address associated with the unit's Ethernet interface in the "Network"
option of the unit's "Info" menu (see sections 3.1.5 and 3.2.5 of this manual).
2.
Open the web browser (Google Chrome for example) and type the IP address of the
unit followed by :8080. In the example, 172.31.201.1:8080. Then the following screen
appears:
In order to access this screen, the
proxy
in the web browser must be disabled. At the
end of this section the way to do it is explained.
3.
Click on the box that indicates "Click here, or drag and drop a software update image
file to this area" and, in the windows that appears, select the "
swu
" file that contains the
new version you want to load. It is also possible to directly drag the "swu" file from the
file browser to this box.
