• Gli impianti elettrici nei locali prescelti per l'uso dell'apparecchio rispondono alle normative stabilite dall'ANSI.

• L'apparecchio viene utilizzato come indicato nel libretto delle istruzioni per l'uso.

AVVERTIMENTI:

• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell'involucro, a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, possono venire alla luce parti dell'apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.

• Se l'apertura dell'apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispensabile staccare precedentemente quest'ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensione. Rispettare tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamento, di operazioni di manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della sostituzione di componenti all'interno dell'apparecchio.

• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell'apparecchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da personale specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali operazioni evitandone i rischi connessi.

• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036 (vedi illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione pericolosa con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di accendere l'apparecchio, collegare quest'ultimo agli altoparlanti servendosi esclusivamente del cavetto d'allacciamento indicato dal produttore.

• Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati all'involucro dell'apparecchio per quanto possibile.

• Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata corrente nominale.

• L'utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito del sostegno di metallo sono proibite.

• Non interrompere mai il collegamento con il circuito di protezione.

• Superfici contrassegnate dalla parola "HOT" (vedi illustrazione 2 a fondo pag.), cosi come griglie di aerazione, dispositivi di raffreddamento e i loro rivestimenti di protezione, oppure valvole e i relativi rivestimenti protettivi possono surriscaldarsi notevolmente durante l'uso e per questo motivo non vanno toccate.

• L'ascolto di suoni ad alto volume può provocare danni permanenti all'udito. Evitate perciò la diretta vicinanza con altoparlanti ad alta emissione di suono e utilizzate cuffie protettive in caso ciò non sia possibile.

ALIMENTAZIONE:

• L'apparecchio è concepito per il funzionamento continuo.

• La tensione di esercizio deve corrispondere alla tensione di rete a cui ci si allaccia.

• L'allacciamento alla rete elettrica avviene tramite alimentatore o cavetto d'alimentazione consegnato insieme all'apparecchio.

• Alimentatore: un cavo di connessione danneggiato non può essere sostituito. L'alimentatore non può più essere utilizzato.

• Evitate un allacciamento alla rete di corrente utilizzando cassette di distribuzione sovraccariche.

• La spina di corrente deve essere situata nelle vicinanze dell'apparecchio e facilmente raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento.

LOCALI DI COLLOCAMENTO:

• Opportuno collocare l'apparecchio su una superficie pulita e orizzontale.

• Evitare di esporre l'apparecchio ai raggi del sole e di collocarlo direttamente nelle vicinanze di fonti di calore come caloriferi, stufette, ecc.

• Se l'apparecchio viene trasportato rapidamente da un locale freddo ad uno riscaldato può succedere che al suo interno si crei della condensa. Ciò va tenuto in considerazione soprattutto in caso di apparecchi a valvole. Attendere che l'apparecchio abbia assunto la temperatura ambiente prima di accenderlo.

• Accessori: non collocare l'apparecchio su carrelli, supporti, treppiedi, superfici o tavoli instabili. Se l'apparecchio dovesse cadere a terra potrebbe causare danni a terzi o danneggiarsi irreparabilmente. Utilizzate per il collocamento dell'apparecchio supporti, treppiedi e superfici che siano consigliate dal produttore o direttamente comprese nell'offerta di vendita. Per il collocamento dell'apparecchio attenetevi strettamente alle istruzioni del produttore, utilizzando esclusivamente accessori da esso consigliati. L'apparecchio in combinazione ad un supporto va spostato con molta attenzione. Movimenti bruschi o il collocamento su pavimenti non piani possono provocare la caduta dell'apparecchio e del suo supporto.

• Accessori supplementari: non utilizzate mai accessori supplementari che non siano consigliati dal produttore, potendo essere ciò causa di incidenti.

• Per proteggere l'apparecchio in caso di temporali o nel caso questo non venisse utilizzato per diverso tempo si consiglia di staccarne la spina di corrente. In questo modo si evitano danni all'apparecchio dovuti a colpi di fulmine o ad improvvisi aumenti di tensione nel circuito di corrente alternata.

FIRNET Controller 1.1

1 Purpose

The FIRNET controller performs digitally all functions required to address, control, and remote-control HK AUDIO sound reinforcement systems, that is, speakers and amps. Featuring advanced AD and DA converter technology and an internal sampling rate of 96 kHz, it is a premium-quality audio signal processing tool.

2 Quick Start Guide

Display

The LCD shows information on presets and parameters. The default readout appears after the device is powered up, and then the display indicates current speaker selection settings and the LAN status. Once you begin navigating adjustable parameters, it shows values pertaining to these parameters.

Menu Keys

Menu keys (Speaker, Level, Scene, Delay/Phase und Admin) serve to access the various parameter sections. You can adjust the indicated parameters and save these settings using the edit select keys (cursors and back key) for the selected input and output. Pressing the back key always takes you to the next higher menu level.

Note: The device retains stored values even if a power failure occurs or it is unplugged from the mains supply.

Channel Mute

• Using Channel Mute Shortcuts to Mute Outputs A/B/C/D

You can use combinations of the Admin menu key and the four other menu keys (Speaker, Scene, Level, Delay/Phase) to mute the FIRNET’s output channels in A/B/C/D sequence. For example, if you wish to mute output A, press Admin + Speaker; to mute output D, press Admin + Delay/Phase. Press the same combination again to reactivate the output.

Note: Each of the output channels’ red signal LEDs show the given output’s mute status (constant red = MUTE).

3 General Features

• FIR ﬁ lters ensure phase accuracy and strikingly natural-sounding response.

• Top-drawer converter technology provides outstanding dynamic range up to 130 dB (A/D)

• Sophisticated limiters feature an advanced design.

• 96-kHz internal sampling rate delivers highest resolution and transparency.

• Ethernet ports serve to network devices.

• Ethersound, CobraNet, and other interfaces may be retroﬁ tted.

• GPIO interface on board.

• LIPAN PC software enables remote monitoring.

3.1 FIR

FIR (Finite Impulse Response) ﬁ ltering technology provides total phase linearity across all components (speakers, controllers, amps), enabling you to equalize a sound systems’ frequency response and phase (or group delay) separately. Thus the system renders the different frequency ranges of a sonic image coherently; that is, in time and faithfully. Differences in phase response no longer cause listening fatigue, dramatically improving transparency and three-dimensional imaging.

Unlike IIR (Inﬁ nite Impulse Response) ﬁ lters, FIR ﬁ lters do not consist of a speciﬁ c number of separately computed ﬁ lter elements. Instead, they contain a complete sampled copy, with the magnitude and phase function required for equalization. The FIR ﬁ lters in the FIRNET controller equalize all components of the HK AUDIO sound reinforcement systems, including the speaker chassis, speaker enclosures, passive crossovers, power amps, and the controller itself.

Earlier FIR controllers suffered the drawback of high latency. The FIRNET controller for the ﬁ rst time exploits the beneﬁ ts of FIR ﬁ lters at the low latency previously conﬁ ned to conventional IIR controllers. This means you can even use FIR technology for monitoring applications, where it delivers far more gain before feedback.

Optimized IIR ﬁ lters are used to achieve very low latency no higher than 5.8 ms, including FIR ﬁ ltering.

3.2 State-of-the-Art Digital Converters

The FIRNET controller sports a high-end digital converter and audio DSPs usually found in reference-class studio gear. They deliver excellent sound quality and dynamic response, with a dynamic range up to 130 dB (A/D).

3.3 Sophisticated Limiters

Limiters must protect speakers without squeezing the life out of the sonic image. All the FIRNET controller’s outputs are equipped with peak and RMS limiters. The peak limiters look ahead to anticipate amps’ output power. In case of an eminent overload, they attenuate this output to levels the speaker systems are rated to handle.

The sophisticated combination of look-ahead (2ms) peak limiters and RMS limiters with discretely adjusted threshold, attack, hold, and release times ensure the system operates safely.

Note: Adjust the following settings to ensure the FIRNET operates properly with the given power amps: When using FP10000Q amps: Gain LAB: + 26 dBu Max D/A Level FIRNET (Admin view): + 18 dBu

When using VX 2400 amps: Gain VX: + 35 dBu Max A/D level FIRNET (Admin view): +6 dBu

3.4 Network Enabled

The FIRNET controller ships with Ethernet interfaces (cross-connected signal input (X) and parallel input (II) on the back of the device), and integrates into a LAN via TCP/IP.

3.5 Wireless Freedom

A wireless network access point enables wireless communication at live events. You can send every adjustment made on a laptop or tablet PC direct to the controllers across a wireless network from any point in the auditorium.

3.6 GPIO/Option Slot – Ready for Various Extensions

The GPIO interface provides a universal connection that could, for example, link with the house system’s control unit. The Option slot accepts future extension hardware such as CobraNet ports and Ethersound interfaces, ensuring your investment in FIRNET yields long-term returns on your investment.

4 LIPAN PC Software for Remote Control and

Monitoring

4.3 Database of Filter Sets for Specific Speakers

The FIRNET features an extendible database archiving functions for equalization, phase correction, and power handling capacity speciﬁ cations of different HK AUDIO speakers and sound reinforcement systems. The controller stores up to 100 ﬁ lters tuned for speciﬁ c speakers. A simple mouse click adds setups to and removes setups from the ﬁ lter database. The database lists these speaker-speciﬁ c ﬁ lters by their HK AUDIO speaker series names for easy access.

4.1 Fundamentals

FIRNET LIPAN software runs on WIN XP and enables you to remotely monitor and control anything from a single controller to an audio network comprising up to 100 devices, and all this with remarkable clarity and convenience. It handles so intuitively that you’ll be able to achieve great results the ﬁ rst time out! The standard Ethernet X and II ports on the rear panel let you connect several FIRNET controllers to remotely control and monitor entire networks. For details on network cable connections, see chapter 6.3, „Rear Panel, PC Ethernet Control Ports.“

With a connected PC running LIPAN software, you can then remote-control this network; that is, monitor all parameters set and indicated at the FIRNET and adjust all controller settings at your PC. LIPAN software also performs further convenient functions such as simultaneously manipulating several FIRNET controllers assigned to groups and equalizing the entire system with a fully parametric IIR-EQ for every controller. Read the LIPAN software manual to learn more about what it can do for you.

4.2 IP Address

Every device has a predeﬁ ned IP address that may be edited at the device. Every controller in the network is identiﬁ ed and addressed individually by its freely assignable name and unique IP address. Controllers are integrated via a LAN or WLAN.

All settings may be stored to the PC as a backup, ensuring they remain accessible at any time.

4.4 Total Control

The main window provides a clear view of every networked setup, including all connected controllers and conﬁ gured groups. A simple mouse click in the network view selects any controller or group for editing.

4.5 Fast Access

The desktop offers a channel strip view of all the controller’s functions called the controller window. A mouse click changes speaker ﬁ lters, levels, mute and solo groups, and phases in real-time, without a lot of searching and thumbing through operating manuals. The Admin menu clearly lists all parameters such as IP-address, controller name, and audio source, as well as units for temperature, delay, and the like.

4.6 Grouping Controllers

Several controllers may be grouped in 16 different groups, making it easy to adjust parameters such as levels and delay times collectively. The main window affords a clear view of all routings.

4.7 Database of Scenes for Specific Events

The FIRNET features a database with ten memory slots for setups for speciﬁ c events called scenes. They are handy tools for recurring events at the same venues because the speed up audio system setup and ensure every event beneﬁ ts from the same high quality of audio performance.

4.8 Stereo Controller EQ

LIPAN also provides also an IIR stereo EQ with four fully parametric and two multifunctional bands (peak, shelf, and cut) for every controller in the network. They serve to equalize and adapt the system to suit the given venue. You can set up a WLAN link to check settings at different positions in the audience area and adjust them immediately in real time via this online link.

6 Rear Panel Connectors

1 100-240 V~ / 50-60 Hz Mains

This three-pole non-heating equipment connector with a ground contact connects the FIRNET controller to the mains power supply. The multi-voltage power supply unit allows the controller to be connected directly to all mains voltages ranging between 100 V and 240 V without requiring transformers and the like. Its maximum power consumption is 40 VA, which corresponds to about 175 mA maximum current consumption at 230 V mains voltage and about 400 mA at 100 V. Do not connect the device using anything other than a three-pole connector with a ground contact. The mains outlet must also be equipped with a ground contact. Never use damaged cords, plugs, or sockets.

2 GPIO

This 25-pin sub-D port provides four each ﬂ oating inputs and outputs for future ﬁ rmware versions’ use, for example, to remote-control power amps or switch controlled devices. Current ﬁ rmware does not support this feature.

3 Ethernet PC Control Ports Ethernet ports relay remote control and monitoring data between a PC and FIRNET controllers via computer networking hardware. The Ethernet X and Ethernet II connectors are RJ-45 ports (Input X = for cross input, II = parallel input).

Cabling:

If you do not wish to use further network hardware such as hubs and switches, connect the PC’s network port to the ﬁ rst FIRNET’s Ethernet X port using CAT5 network cable. Then also use a CAT5 network cable to connect the ﬁ rst FIRNET’s Ethernet II port to the second controller’s Ethernet X port, and so forth.

Use a CAT5 network cable to connect the FIRNET controller to hubs or switches, patching the FIRNET controller’s Ethernet II port to the hub or switch’s network port. To daisy-chain further FIRNET controllers, connect the ﬁ rst FIRNET’s Ethernet X port to the second controller’s Ethernet II port, and so forth.

Tip: We recommend that you connect all FIRNET controllers to switches. If you do not, and one controller fails in setups comprising several connected FIRNET controllers, the entire networked chain will drop out.

4 AES/EBU IN Digital Audio Input

Connect signal sources with digital outputs to these three-pin female XLR sockets. Pin assignments are pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = signal, and pin 3 = signal. The FIRNET controller accepts sampling rates of 48 kHz and 96 kHz, which may be selected via a menu option.

Input-Output Signal Routing The analog INPUT A – that is, the left channel of the digital AES/EBU signal - delivers the signal to OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B. OUTPUT C and OUTPUT D receive their signal from analog INPUT B, that is, the right channel of the digital AES/EBU signal. You can reroute signals in the LIPAN software’s Admin window.

5 AES/EBU OUT Digital Audio Output

The signal patched into the AES/EBU input can be routed through in digital format to other devices via this three-pin male XLR port. Pin assignments are pin 1 = ground, pins 2 and 3 = signal. The FIRNET ampliﬁ es the incoming digital audio signal to preserve signal quality. If a FIRNET controller drops out, the signal is routed directly from the digital AES/EBU IN to the digital AES/EBU OUT via a parallel circuit.

To select the digital input, go to the Admin menu (press ADMIN once), choose the menu option Input Options (press the down arrow once), and then press ENTER to conﬁ rm:

Menu option - ADMIN/Input Options/ Input Source

Synchronization Ports for Analog Audio Signals: If you wish to address several FIRNET controllers via their analog inputs, you can use digital AES/EBU IN inputs and AES/EBU OUT outputs to synchronize these controllers to ensure the audio signal remains coherent.

To do this, connect the ﬁ rst FIRNET controller’s digital AES/EBU OUT to the second FIRNET’s digital AES/EBU IN. Then connect the second FIRNET controller’s digital AES/EBU OUT to the third FIRNET’s digital AES/EBU IN, and so forth.

Leave the ﬁ rst FIRNET’s digital AES/EBU IN and the last FIRNET’s digital AES/EBU OUT unoccupied. The ﬁ rst FIRNET is the master, providing the clock for the other slaved controllers, so access this FIRNET’s menu function to select the internal clock. Conﬁ gure the other controllers so they accept synchronization commands via the AES/EBU signal and select their analog inputs for the audio signal using the appropriate menu options.

Note: The Sync LED on subsequent controllers in the network light up to confirm they are synchronized.

6 INPUT A, INPUT B Analog Audio Inputs

Connect signal sources with analog outputs to these three-pin female XLR sockets. Pin assignments are pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = signal (+), pin 3 = signal (-). These electronically balanced ports’ input impedance is 9 k-ohms. An electronic ﬁ lter protects them against HF interference.

A menu option lets you adjust input sensitivity in four steps (6 dBu, 12 dBu, 18 dBu, 24 dBu) to match the FIRNET controller’s input to the connected audio device’s analog output. Proper matching vastly improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the FIRNET controller’s analog input.

To match levels, go to the Admin menu (press ADMIN once), choose the menu option Analog Levels (press down arrow thrice), and then conﬁ rm by pressing ENTER.

Menu option - ADMIN/Analog Levels

The FIRNET uses stacked AD converters to achieve >130 dB (A) input dynamic range.

Note: You must manually set analog levels to 18 dBu after a firmware update (see section 7, Analog Signal Outputs).

7 OUTPUT A to OUTPUT D Analog Audio Outputs

Use these three-pin XLR male sockets to route output signals to power amps. Pin assignments are pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = signal (+), and pin 3 = signal (-). These electronically balanced connectors’ output impedance is 35 ohms. The DA converters’ output dynamic range is >124 dB (A). A menu option lets you adjust the maximum output level in four steps (6 dBu, 12 dBu, 18 dBu, 24 dBu) to match the levels of the FIRNET controller’s output and the connected power amp’s analog input.

Note: Adjust the following settings to ensure the FIRNET operates properly with the given power amps: When using FP10000Q amps: Gain LAB: + 26 dBu Max D/A Level FIRNET (Admin view): + 18 dBu

When using VX 2400 amps: Gain VX: + 35 dBu Max A/D level FIRNET (Admin view): +6 dBu

• Setting the sampling frequency and the digital AES/EBU input

When addressing the FIRNET via the digital input, you can chose between two sampling rates, 48 kHz or 96 kHz, for the digital audio signal. The FIRNET always works with an internal sampling rate of 96 kHz. If you patch in a digital audio signal with a 48-kHz sampling rate, the FIRNET converts it to 96 kHz.

FIRNET Controller 1.1

Digital Clock Source

• Synchronizing Analog Circuits You can chose between two operating modes when addressing the FIRNET via the analog inputs. The controller may be synchronized to its internal clock or an external clock routed in via the AES/EBU input. Synchronizing several FIRNET controllers to an external clock ensures individual FIRNET controllers’ audio signals remain coherent. This is particularly important for speaker conﬁ gurations with coherent throw patterns such as line arrays.

To select the clock source, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the RS keys to select the menu option Input Options (press the

key once) and press the ENTER key.

Now use the RS keys to select the submenu option Dig. Clk Sync (press R once) and the QP keys to set the FIRNET to Internal or AES/EBU. Then press the ENTER key to assign the selected clock. The FIRNET’s display shows the selected source.

7.4.5.3 Utilities: Delay, Temperature, Display Contrast, Controller Name

Selecting a Unit of Measure for Delay Readings

The FIRNET indicates delay settings in milliseconds (ms), meters (m), feet (ft), or samples (SA). To select a unit of measure for the delay display reading, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the RS keys to select the menu option Utilities (press R or S twice) and press the ENTER key. Now use the RS keys to select the submenu option Delay Unit, if not already selected, and the QP keys to select the desired unit for the delay display reading. Then press the ENTER key to assign the selected unit of measure.

To calculate the delay reading for meters (m) and feet (ft), the FIRNET ﬁ rst computes the milliseconds (ms) value based on the speed of sound, which depends on temperature. You must enter the surrounding temperature to the FIRNET to ensure this value is converted correctly. To do this, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the RS keys to select the menu option Utilities (press R or S twice) and press the ENTER key. Now use the RS keys to select the submenu option Temperature (press the S key once) and the

keys to set the current ambient temperature

in °C. Then press the ENTER key to assign this temperature to the equation the FIRNET uses to convert the unit of measure for the delay display reading.

Adjusting the LCD’s Contrast

To adjust the LCD’s contrast to the given lighting conditions, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the RS keys to select the menu option Utilities (press R twice or S) and press the ENTER key. Now use the RS keys to select the submenu option Display Contrast and the QP keys to select the desired display contrast within a range of 0 to 31. Then press the ENTER key to assign the contrast setting.

Adjusting Temperature

The FIRNET always stores delay values as samples per ms. It converts the information given at a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and indicates it as delay time in ms. The speed of sound, which varies according to temperature, is a factor in the conversion equation. This is why you must enter the correct air temperature to the FIRNET.

Selecting the Controller Name

To create an orderly, logical PA setup, you want to establish a clear link between a FIRNET and a speaker or group of speakers. To this end, you can give a controller a meaningful name such as PA Left. To change a controller name, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the

keys to select the menu option Utilities (press

or S twice) and press the ENTER key. Now use

the RS keys to select the submenu option Contr. Name (press arrow up twice). Use the QP keys to change each letter of the indicated controller name. Press ENTER to go to the next letter in the controller name. Once you have entered the desired controller name, press the ENTER key for about two seconds until a < symbol appears next to the controller name to assign this name.

Changing the IP Address

The FIRNET ships with a default IP address that reads 192.168.1.100. To change the IP address, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the RS keys to select the menu option Utilities (press R or S twice) and press the ENTER key. Now use the RS keys to select the submenu option IP Address (press R once). Use theQP keys to change each digit of the indicated IP address. Press ENTER to go to the next digit in the IP address. Once you have entered the desired

IP address, press the ENTER key for about two seconds until a < symbol appears next to the IP address. To assign the new IP address, you must power the FIRNET down by severing its connection to the mains supply. The FIRNET will boot with the new IP address the next time you power it up.

7.4.5.4 Analog Levels

Adjusting the Maximum Input Level (AD)

When addressing the FIRNET via the analog audio inputs, you can adjust input sensitivity in four steps of 6 dBu, 12 dBu, 18 dBu, and 24 dBu to match the FIRNET controller’s input to the connected audio device’s analog output. The lower the value, the higher the input sensitivity and the higher the input level. To set the maximum level for the AD converter, ﬁ rst press the ADMIN key to access the Admin menu. Use the navigation keys RS to select the menu option Analog Levels (press R once) and press the ENTER key. Now use the navigation keys

to select the submenu option Max. Input and

set the desired maximum level for the AD converter. Then press the ENTER key to assign the selected maximum level to the AD converter.

Note: Professional mixing consoles’ output level can range up to +18 dBu, and in some cases even up to +24 dBu. The FIRNET is factory set to +18 dBu. Ensure the input level you have selected in this menu matches as closely as possible the connected audio device’s maximum output level.

Adjusting the Maximum Output Level (DA)

Adjust the FIRNET’s analog output signal’s maximum level (Max. Output) to match the downstream power amp.

Heads up: Correct limiter settings ensure the FIRNET operates safely with the various power amplifiers that drive HK AUDIO loudspeakers. To this end, adjust Max. Output Level settings as follows:

Menu: Admin/Utilities/Analog Levels/Max Output Level Settings for L.A.B. FP 10000 Q amps: Gain (L.A.B. FP 10000Q): + 26 dBu Voltage Peak Limiter: 150V, Soft Mode Max Output (Firnet): + 18 dBu

Settings for HK AUDIO VX 2400 amps: Gain VX 2400: + 35 dBu Max Output ( Firnet): + 6 dBu The FIRNET’s limiter cannot effectively attenuate signals when set to other dBu levels, so connected speakers may be damaged or destroyed.

7.4.5.5 Muting Outputs

The SPEAKER, SCENE, LEVEL, DELAY/PHASE and ADMIN keys serve the second purpose of muting outputs. The label above each key tells you its mute function. To mute outputs, press and hold the MUTE/HOLD key and press the key of the output you wish to mute (key A to D for Output A to Output D). The Lim/Mute LED in the given output’s LED chain lights up red to indicate the output is muted. Follow the same procedure to enable the output.

7.5 Firmware

The FIRNET controller ships with the current ﬁ rmware. LIPAN software lets you update the device with future ﬁ rmware versions. See chapter 4 LIPAN PC Software, to learn more about ﬁ rmware updates.
