Updating the Firmware

Extron periodically updates product firmware in conjunction 

with the release of new software revisions.  When updating any 

Extron software to the latest revision level, be sure to read the 

supplied release notes or contact an Extron Application Engineer 

to determine if your Extron product requires a firmware update.
You can find out what version of firmware is currently loaded 

on your switcher by entering the SIS “Q” command via the 

RS-232 interface (see “Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) 

Commands,” earlier in this chapter).
