Shared. The transmitter is now in Share Mode and will accept multiple connections.

upgrading the unit firmware requires the unit to reboot; currently active sessions will be disconnected.

2. Click the appropriate unit name. The Unit Overview window will open.
3. In the Tools section, click the Upgrade Firmware icon. The Upgrade Unit Firmware wizard will launch.

Successfully window will open.
6. Click Finish.
During a firmware upgrade, the unit status in the Units - All window will be set to Upgrading. The event log can also be
used to monitor the status of a unit firmware update. When the firmware update is complete, the unit firmware revision
field is updated and the unit reverts to the status Idle.
