The DEC-200™ firmware versions till version 0.1.17 do not support the ‘Factory-Reset’
feature. So if your DEC-200™ has a lower firmware version than 0.1.18 and if you change the
IP-address of your decoder, please make a note of the new decoder IP-address and save this
note.
Concerning all firmware versions from 0.1.8 till 0.1.16: For unicast reception you must enter in
the ‘IP address’ field of the ‘DECODER/SOURCE’ webpage the IP-address of the DEC-200™,
e. g. 172.16.20.200. See Figure 43.
Figure 43: Unicast Reception (For Firmware Versions 0.1.8 - 0.1.16)
All DEC-200™ firmware versions since version 0.1.19 are for the DEC-200™ Hardware
Revision 2. If a DEC-200™ Hardware Revision 1 will be updated with a firmware version
0.1.19 or higher, the DEC-200™ Hardware Revision 1 supports still only the features till
firmware version 0.1.18.
If the DEC-200™ is set to DHCP, a downgrade to a lower DEC-200™ Firmware than 0.1.24
may not made, because in this case no network address will be assigned.
A range of DEC-200™ decoders have the +3.3 V at Pin 24 which is protected with a 1k
resistor. The listed serial numbers below specifies the DEC-200™ decoders with this resistor.
At these decoders, the +3.3 V can not be used as a supply voltage. At all other DEC-200™
decoders, which are not listed here, the auxiliary supply can be used as a fused supply
voltage with max. 500mA current.

The DEC-200™ firmware version 1.30 or higher does support not anymore the DEC-200™
Hardware Revision 1. So, if you have a DEC-200™ Hardware Revision 1 blade, it is very
important that you do not update your DEC-200™ with the firmware version 1.30 or higher.
