Step 2 -- Discovering Monarch EDGE and Updating Firmware
After you have connected and powered up your Monarch EDGE, you may need to update the device firmware.
Before you update
• Make sure you have at least 1 GB of free disk space available.
• Use only one instance of the firmware updater on your network at a time.
• Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.5.x is required. Windows 10 systems have version 4.6 pre-installed.
• Make sure you have a DHCP-enabled network, and that your server maintains the IP address of a device
when it reappears on the network after a reboot. If not, assign static IP addresses to your devices.
• Make sure the Monarch EDGE Control Hub version on your computer matches the firmware version of the
Monarch EDGE.
• If your system doesn’t have access to a DNS server, use a fixed IP address (such as local host – 127.0.0.1) as
its DNS server. Otherwise, the firmware update process may take a long time to complete.
• Stop all Monarch EDGE encoding processes and close all instances of Monarch EDGE Control Hub.
