■Install the Dante Firmware Update Manager
Before you update the Dante firmware, you must install the Dante Firmware Update Manager.
Double-click the Dante Firmware Update Manager installer downloaded in “Preparing for the update”
(DanteFirmwareUpdateManager-x.x.x.msi) and follow the on-screen instructions to install the
firmware.
x.x.x represents the version number of the Dante Firmware Update Manager.
In addition, extract the Dante firmware (extension: .dnt) from the compressed file.
The Dante firmware does not operate normally if its path contains any multi-byte character (including
Japanese characters). If you use a directory name containing any multi-byte character in your
computer, store the firmware update files in a directory that consists only of ASCII characters (e.g.
C:¥temp).
NOTE
・For Windows 7, the “Windows Security” dialog box may appear. In such case, click [Install this driver software
anyway].
・You may be prompted to restart the computer after the installation is complete. Before proceeding to update, restart
the computer.
・In the middle of installation of the Dante Firmware Update Manager, you may be prompted to install Bonjour. In
such case, download the Bonjour installer from the URL presented by the installer and install it.
