Fig 6-10: Update Page
This page allows the firmware on the connected unit to be updated.
Updates will be made available on the Sonifex website for enhancements
and bug fixes. If a new version of firmware exists, download the file onto
a computer. Press the browse button to locate the file and select it. Then
press the update button to transfer the new firmware to the CM-TB8. The
update process will take approximately 20 seconds during which time the
unit will reboot automatically.
If the unit fails to reboot after a firmware update, this could indicate that an
incompatible file was selected or the file was corrupt. Try power cycling the
unit first; disconnect the mains power, wait several seconds then re-apply
power. If the unit still fails to boot, it is possible to force it into boot loader
mode. In this mode, the unit can accept new firmware as the boot loader
has its own simplified web server.
To run the unit in boot loader mode:
power up the unit whilst holding the
group talk button and channels 1, 2 and 3 talk buttons. The MIC, Phantom
and HS will flash green in a repeating cycle to indicate the unit is in boot
loader mode. Type the IP address of the unit into a web browser to access
the boot loader web server. Select the update tab, press the browse button
to select the firmware file and then press the update button.
