8.24 DEVICE FIRMWARE
Firmware is the software which runs inside the device. Most products which are controllable from PodWare have
rmware which can be updated by the user.
Firmware is uniquely identied by two things:
1. The Firmware Model Number. This is not the model number of the product, but a number which uniquely describes
the type of rmware used by the device. When updating rmware, the same rmware model must be used.
2. The Firmware Version Number. This describes the issue of the rmware update within a given model number. When
updating rmware, the latest rmware Version Number for a given rmware Model Number would normally be
selected. Firmware updates are usually supplied in .dfw (Device FirmWare) les. PodWare uses a .dfw le to load new
rmware into a device.
Firmware les are named like this: ****5678V1234.DFW
If you are using the very latest Version of Podware then you will be advised automatically when you go online if your
device requires a rmware update
You can inspect the rmware Model and Version in the Device Properties dialogue.
To update the rmware in a device, see Menus or Device Context Menus.
At the bottom right hand side of the screen a blue bar will show the progress of the rmware update. Do not power down
the unit or disconnect any network cable during a rmware update. During the update a red bar will show the progress
of the rmware update (bottom right of screen). The device will then power cycle automatically. The loudspeaker is now
ready for normal operation.
