■ Update procedure sequence
Update each firmware component in the following sequence.
To update more than one Ri/Ro unit, configure “Computer TCP/IP setting (for Ri/Ro unit)” and
perform “Updating the Ri/Ro firmware” one by one. Then, configure “Computer TCP/IP setting (for
Dante)” and perform “Dante firmware update” one by one.
If there are 2 computers, you may use one for Ri/Ro unit firmware update and the other for Dante
firmware update so that you can perform the work without switching the TCP/IP settings. To update
more than one Ri/Ro firmware application, it is recommended to use 2 computers for the update.

■ 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.exe) 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).
・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.
・When installing the Dante Firmware Update Manager, temporarily disable any running anti-virus software.
