communicate with additional End Device models. To update the firmware first visit the ZW-
REC page at www.omega.com. Download the latest firmware version and unzip the file to a
location a local drive.
Before starting a firmware upgrade, close all unused programs, unused web browser tabs and
disable anti-virus software if possible. It is recommended that any firmware upgrade is
initiated on the same local area network as the ZW-REC using a wired Ethernet connection.
