MODEL 205
ANNOUNCER’S CONSOLE
Note that if a connected USB flash drive
doesn’t have the correct file (m205.bin) in
its root folder no harm will occur if power is
applied to the Model 205. Upon power up
the main button’s LED will flash on and off
rapidly for a few seconds to indicate this
condition and then normal operation using
the unit’s existing application firmware will
begin.
Ultimo Firmware Update
As previously discussed in this guide, the
Model 205 implements Dante connectivity
using the 4-input/4-output Ultimo integrat-
ed circuit from Audinate. The Dante Con-
troller software application can be used
to determine the version of the firmware
(embedded software) that resides in the
Ultimo “chip.” The STcontroller software
application can also be used to identify the
firmware version. (Use the Version selec-
tion under the Device tab.) The Dante
firmware can be updated by way of the
Model 205’s Ethernet connection. The lat-
est Dante firmware file is available on the
Studio Technologies website. The Dante
Firmware Update Manager (FUM) appli-
cation is used to install the firmware. This
program is also available for download on
the Studio Technologies website. It’s an-
ticipated that a more automated method of
updating Dante firmware will become avail-
able. It this comes to fruition then it might
offer a much simplified method of keeping
the firmware current.
Restoring Factory Defaults
A command in the STcontroller software
application allows the Model 205’s defaults
to be reset to the factory values. From
STcontroller select the Model 205 for
which you want to restore its defaults.
Select the Device tab and then select
the Factory Defaults feature. Then click
on the OK box. The values shown on the
screen should reflect the default values.
