7 Updating the Firmware in a new device
Barix preloads Exstreamer family devices with either the 'Streaming Client' firmware (USA), or
the “Exstreamer standard firmware” (ROTW).
In both cases, the firmware will need updating to the ABCL FTPMP3 Player application.
If you do not already have one, you will need to obtain a registered user ID from Barix Support
(
) to enable you to download the software.
Once you have the ID, download the software from the Barix website: it's stored under 'ABCL
applications' in the downloads section, select 'ABCL FTPMP3 player application'.
Now unzip the package and follow the instructions in the '_Readme1st' file to load the
application.
After loading the ABCL firmware into the device, the FTPMP3 application must be selected, in
order for the FTP MP3 Player to start. Once FTPMP3 has been selected, it remains as the
default startup application for the unit.
