Firmware Upgrade
PF-WMS42SW supports firmware upgrade through Web UI and USB ports
on the front panel.
To upgrade firmware through Web UI, see
To upgrade firmware through USB port on the front panel, perform the
following:
1. Name the upgrade file package “MS330-update.zip”.
2. Create a new folder named “upgrade” under the root directory of a
FAT32 or NTFS Udisk. Place the upgrade file in this folder.
3. Connect the Udisk to the switcher’s USB port. It takes about 1 minute for
the switcher to read the Udisk. If the switcher detects the upgrade file is a
newer version, it will start to upgrade, and the LED indicators on front
panel -- VGA, HDMI 1-2 & USB-C LEDs start blinking. When the upgrade
process is completed, the four LEDs will stop blinking and return to
normal state.
Note:
Do not cut off power during the upgrade process.
If the switcher detects the upgrade file is not a newer version, it fails to
start upgrade.
If you want to perform force upgrade
1
The mechanism of force upgrade is that the switcher starts upgrade only if it detects the presence
of forcedeploy file. The file’s format, content or size doesn’t affect the detection.
, add the forcedeploy file to the
“upgrade” folder. The switcher will start to upgrade whether the version of
upgrade file is newer or not. Therefore, please use this method with
caution.
